469 NAC 2-009.07B7
The worker must disregard one motor vehicle regardless of its value as long as it is necessary for the client or a member of his/her household for employment, medical treatment, or use as the home. If the client has more than one motor vehicle, the worker excludes the vehicle with the greatest equity.
Exception: The client designates the disregarded vehicle for the Assessment of Resources.
Any other motor vehicles are treated as nonliquid resources and the equity is counted in the resource limit. The client's verbal statement that the motor vehicle is used for employment or medical treatment is sufficient.
Exception: A client in a nursing home or receiving services through an Assisted Living Waiver is not allowed the disregard of any motor vehicles because medical transportation is included in the payment to the facility.
If the client is temporarily in a nursing home/assisted living facility, a motor vehicle that the client has used for medical transportation is excluded as a resource. This exclusion lasts only until it is apparent that the client cannot return to his/her home again (not to exceed six months).
