Exclude income received on an annual basis (such as sale of livestock in the fall) and put aside in a separate account for yearly maintenance as cash and securities. Consider as income when determining need. Consider any amount remaining at the end of the year as cash and securities. Determine the year by computing from the sale of livestock, etc. If other funds are deposited in this account, such as a Social Security check, etc., consider the entire amount as cash and securities.
