2-009.01 Verification of Resources
Before determining eligibility of an AABD/MA or SDP/MA client who does not receive SSI, the worker must verify and document in the case record all resources. The worker is not required to verify resources of an SSI recipient including a client who is determined eligible for 1619(b) status by SSI. For any retroactive or prospective month that an AABD/MA client is not in current pay status for SSI, the worker must verify resources. Verification of resources consists of but is not limited to the following information:
1. A description of the type of resource to include account or policy number(s), legal descriptions (for property), etc.
2. The location of the resource (i.e., name and address of the bank, insurance company, etc.);
3. Current value of the resource, encumbrances against the resource, and the resulting equity value (see 469 NAC 2-009.06);
4. Description of current ownership (see 469 NAC 2-009.03); and
5. Source of verification and the date the verification is obtained.
If the client or spouse of the client has a guardian, the worker may use the guardian's report to the court for verification. The guardian's report applies only to the period covered by the report. The worker must follow regular verification procedures if there is no guardian's report or the report does not coincide with the date of redetermination.
The worker must also note any additional information that may affect resource eligibility.
If the Central Office notifies the worker that there may have been a deprivation of resources by an SSI recipient, see 469 NAC 2-009.10.
