How much money can I have and be eligible for EqualityCare Aged, Blind or Disabled programs?
After the eligibility worker determines that you meet the medical eligibility requirements, the value of all your resources will be added up. Resources are cash gifts, money in checking or savings accounts, credit union accounts, stocks, savings bonds, trusts, annuities, or any other money that you have saved or invested. Resources also include things like boats, trailers, real estate, and life insurance policies or other expensive items you may own. EqualityCare does not count as resources the home you live in (if the value is under $500,000), one vehicle or personal property (e.g., clothing, furnishings). The amount of resources you may have depends on the size of your family and the eligibility group for which you are applying. This will be determined at the time of application.
