Section 8:133-4.2 - Exempt resources

(a) Client cash resources, including Federal annuity awards, funds set aside for funeral and burial expense or identified special needs, and liened resources up to the amount due for care and maintenance shall be considered exempt (up to the SSI resource cap) in Interim Assistance eligibility determination.

(b) Rental assistance either from a Federal or State-funded program (including DMHS) is excluded as available income prompting a reduction in Interim Assistance payments where such resources do not deem a recipient ineligible for SSI. This exclusion applies only to clients in independent living situations (for example, client's own home or apartment where clients have a lease and are responsible for expenses such as the rent, utilities, food, furnishings, maintenance, etc.)
