Resource (Asset) Test - Food Stamps

As part of determining financial eligibility, non-categorically eligible households must pass an asset test. For households with an elderly or disabled (effective FY 2003) member, countable assets cannot exceed $3,000 and for most other households, countable assets cannot exceed $2,000.

The assets of TANF and/or SSI (Federal) recipients are not counted when determining if a household meets the asset test.

Delaware, at one time, did not conduct an asset test for any household. See the topic "Resource Test Exception (Delaware) - Food Stamps " for further information. Normal resource tests and limits currently apply in Delaware.

Food Stamp households in Connecticut which contain a member who receives TANF benefits are eligible for several special provisions, among them a higher resource limit of $3,000.

Households may not transfer assets in order to become eligible or remain eligible for food stamp benefits.
