When the participant states that they are not planning to reinvest the proceeds in another home within 90 days, count the proceeds as a resource.
When the participant reinvests any portion of the proceeds in another home within the 90 day period, do not count that portion as a resource. Any remaining proceeds MUST be counted as a resource.
When the proceeds are not reinvested in a new homestead at the end of 90 days, count all cash or resources received from the sale as a resource.
When all or part of the proceeds is invested in properties or resources other than a homestead, count such items as a resource.
When a homestead is transferred to a
life estate, count it as
real property.
Key the remaining proceeds according to the resource type on the applicable screens.
