               2. Significance of Liquid/Nonliquid Distinction
               
             
            
               
                  - 
                     
                        a.  
                           Liquid resources do not qualify for exclusion as property essential to self-support
                              unless they represent necessary assets of a trade or business. See SI 01130.500 B.3.

                        b.  
                           An individual who is ineligible solely because of excess resources cannot qualify
                              for conditional benefits unless countable liquid resources are within a certain limit.
                              See SI 01150.200 B.1.a.

                           Liquidity/nonliquidity has no effect on a resource's countability.
