2-009.03 Determination of Ownership of Resources
A resource which appears on record in the name of a client or responsible relative (see 469 NAC 2-006) must be considered belonging to the client. The worker must verify ownership of real estate through records in the offices of the register of deeds or county clerk.
If the worker substantiates that the client is not the true owner of a resource, it is permissible to allow the client to remove his/her name from the title of ownership in order to reflect true ownership. The client is allowed 60 days to make this change without affecting eligibility. After the client removes his/her name from the resource, eligibility may be determined retroactively and/or prospectively. If the client does not remove his/her name in 60 days, the resource is counted.
