(a) Qualified applicants for NJ WorkAbility shall meet resources eligibility standards as defined in N.J.A.C. 10:71-4 in order to be eligible for benefits under this chapter.

(b) In the determination of countable resources, N.J.A.C. 10:71-4.2 shall apply.

(c) Eligibility shall not exist in any month in which the countable resources of a NJ WorkAbility person exceeds the limits of $ 20,000 for an individual and $ 30,000 for a couple.

(d) The spouse-to-spouse and parent-to-child deeming of resources found at N.J.A.C. 10:71-4.6 shall apply to eligibility for NJ WorkAbility. In the deeming of resources from one parent to a child, the countable parental resources in excess of the Medicaid Only resource limit for an individual shall be deemed to the blind or disabled child. When the resources of two parents shall be deemed to a child, the countable parental resources in excess of the Medicaid Only resource limit for a couple shall be deemed to the child.

(e) In addition to those resources excluded under N.J.A.C. 10:71-4.4, funds in an IRA, 401K or other retirement accounts shall also be excluded.

(f) The provisions at N.J.A.C. 10:71-4.6(f) requiring the deeming of resources of an alien's sponsor shall not apply.
