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.

  1. Countable resources for the household must be less than $2000 for a 1 member household OR
  2. Countable resources for the household must be less than $3000 for a 2 member household OR
  3. Countable resources for the household must be less than $3000 + $25 for each additional household member

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