A recipient has an excluded burial fund of $1,785. In 10/90 they are ineligible due
to excess income (N01). For the period 10/90 through 2/91 they are ineligible due
to excess resources (N04). In 3/91, when they are again eligible, their excluded burial
fund is now valued at $1,838.
Treatment - The whole burial fund,including interest earned, remained excluded during the period
of suspension.
If the recipient had used $50 of the burial account to buy groceries in 1/91, the
exclusion would have ended effective 2/1/91 and they would have to reestablish the
exclusion as if it had never existed. The previously excluded interest would be a
countable resource effective with the resource determination for 3/91 (the month they
again become eligible for payment).
