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.

The resource limit for both Children Under 6 and Children aged 6 to 19 are as follows:

1. Countable resources must not exceed $2,000 for an individual OR
2. Countable resources must not exceed $3,000 for a two member household OR
3. Countable resources for the household must be less than $3000 + $25 for each additional individual

See the Family - Common Resource Rules chapter for the steps to calculate the household's total countable resources.
