SI 00604.079 Burial Funds: Question 47

A. When and how to complete question 47

Whether alleged countable resources exceed the statutory resource limit, complete 47(a) for all claimants. When the claimant answers (a) "YES," complete (b). When interest earned or appreciation in value will not remain in the burial fund, complete item(c).

NOTE: Do not confuse the burial fund exclusion with the burial space exclusion explained in SI 01130.400 and covered in question 48.

Explain the effects on Supplemental Security Income benefits if the claimant uses excluded burial funds for some other purpose.
