SI 01330.420 Deeming - Exclusions from Resources

CITATIONS:

Social Security Act, as amended § 1613(a)
§211 of Public Law 93-66 , as amended
Regulations 20 CFR 416.1203 ,

A. Policy - Essential Person Resource Exclusions

The resources of a qualified individual are deemed to include the resources of the essential person. The only resources of the essential person which are not deemed to the qualified individual are as follows:

  1. 1. 

    Restitution payments for Title II, Title VIII and Title XVI benefits misused by certain organizational or individual payees (See GN 00604.065) are excluded for the 9 calendar months following the month in which the restitution is received

  2. 2. 

    Resources excluded by Federal statues other than the Social Security Act. These excluded resources are listed with bold face type in SI 01130.050.

NOTE: Apply all appropriate resource exclusions to the resources of the qualified individual and deemed from the essential person as if all the resources were owned by the qualified individual themself, to determine the qualified individual’s countable resources. For example, a home, in which a qualified individual is living, is deemed from the essential person. It can be excluded from the qualified individual's resources.

B. Policy - Special Limits and Exclusions

A qualified individual and essential person may be eligible for use of the special resource limits and exclusions:

  • For former recipients of assistance under a State plan, see SI 01220.000

  • For treatment of the burial fund exclusion, see SI 01130.409

  • For treatment of the burial space exclusion, see SI 01130.400
