2-009.08 Maximum Available Resource Levels

469 NAC 2-009.08

The established maximum for available resources which the client, or the client and responsible relative or essential person (see 469 NAC 3-006.02), may own and still be considered eligible for a grant, according to unit size, are as follows:

If a couple has a valid designation of resources and -

a. There is an eligible spouse and an ineligible spouse, the resource level for the eligible spouse is $2,000; or

b. The ineligible spouse later becomes eligible, each spouse is allowed $2,000.

a. Client and eligible spouse;

b. Client and ineligible spouse; or

c. Client and ineligible spouse who have designated resources but the client returns home or no longer is eligible for waiver services;

d. Client and other essential person; (This may be a disabled minor child and one parent if that parent is considered an EP); and

If the client has resources in excess of the allowable limit for a grant, the worker must consider eligibility for MA using the resource levels in 469 NAC 4-005.01. For procedures on designating resources, see 469 NAC 2-009.02C ff.

If two or more related AABD/MA or SDP/MA clients (other than a married couple), i.e., an eligible AABD/MA parent and his/her eligible AABD/MA minor child or two or more unrelated eligible AABD/MA clients, reside in the same household, each client is entitled to a resource maximum of $2000.

The treatment of resources of a spouse, a parent, or an essential person is the same as for a client (see 469 NAC 2-006).

If the total equity value of available non-excluded resources exceeds the maximums specified above, the client(s) is ineligible. Resources must be below these maximum resource levels for one day in the month in order for the client to be eligible for a grant in that month.
