A MEAD/MOAD-eligible individual is considered resource-eligible if the total value of countable resources of the assistance group (AG) is:

- $35,758 for an individual; and

- $53,634 for a couple.

A non-MEAD/MOAD-eligible individual is considered resource-eligible if the total value of countable resources of the AG is $1,500 or less.

An HC-CSD categorically needy medical AG is considered resource-eligible if the total value of countable resources of the AG is $1,000 or less.
