106 CMR, § 363.120 - Jointly Owned Assets
(A) Assets owned
jointly by separate households shall be considered available in their entirety
to each household unless the applicant or recipient household can demonstrate
that the asset is inaccessible to that household. If the household has access
to only a portion of the asset, the value of that portion shall be counted
toward the household's asset level. The entire asset shall only be deemed
unavailable or inaccessible to the household if the asset cannot practically be
subdivided and access to the asset is dependent on the agreement of a joint
owner who refuses to comply. For purposes of
106
CMR 363.120, ineligible noncitizens and
disqualified individuals residing with the household shall be considered
household members.
(B) Jointly
owned assets shall be considered inaccessible to persons residing in shelters
for battered women and children, as defined in
106
CMR 365.550: Residents of Shelters
for Battered Women and Their Children, if:
(1) the assets are jointly owned with members
of their former household; and
(2)
access to the asset is dependent on the agreement of members of the former
household.
