Resource Rules

Resource rules are used to determine what resources are countable/non countable for the household. Resources are classified as either countable or non-countable and liquid or non-liquid. Only countable resources are included in the resource eligibility determination. A household's countable resources must be less than a specified resource limit.

Liquid resources are resources that can readily be converted to cash, non-liquid resources are all other types of resources.

The Food Assistance Resource rate table provides the information required to determine whether or not resources are countable or non-countable.

  1. Countable resources must not exceed $2000 for the household, except for household's including a member over the age 60 or over or disabled where countable resources must not exceed $3000.
