Resources of a Supplemental Security Income recipient are considered _____ for FNS benefits.

Resources of a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient are considered not countable for Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) benefits. This means that when determining eligibility for FNS benefits, the resources held by an SSI recipient, such as cash, bank accounts, and property, are not included in the calculation of financial resources. This policy allows SSI recipients to receive FNS benefits without their resources affecting their eligibility, acknowledging that their financial situation is already restricted due to their income from SSI. As a result, they can access food assistance to help meet their nutritional needs without worrying about resource limits that would typically apply to other applicants.
