Exempt funds retain exclusion indefinitely if maintained in a separate account. Excluded funds in an account with non-excluded funds retain exemption for six months from the date of commingling. After the six month time limit, consider all funds in the comingled account as a resource.
NOTE: Resources of students and self-employed households that are prorated as income and are comingled in an account with non-excluded funds retain exclusion for the period of time over which they have been prorated as income.
