PM 07-04-02: Jointly Held Assets

WAG 07-04-02

Assets owned jointly by separate SNAP households are considered available in their entirety to each household unless it can be shown that the asset is inaccessible to the household.

A jointly owned asset is exempt if the asset:

• cannot be practically divided, and
• is accessible only with the consent of the joint owner, and
• the joint owner refuses to give that consent.

 The assets of a categorically eligible SNAP household (PM 05-07-00) are exempt, unless the household receives substantial lottery or gambling winnings as a cash prize of  more than $4,250. See PM 07-04-21.
