SER Eligibility Requirements

Application: See Customer Application Process

 

Asset Limits

 

SER groups, except some applying for burial services, have a $50 cash asset exclusion. Countable cash assets over $50 are part of the group's cash asset co-payment and must be used to meet the need.

 

SER groups with only one member have a $1750 non-cash asset limit. SER groups with two or more members have a $3000 non-cash asset limit. Some assets, such as a homestead, one vehicle, personal and household goods, etc., are excluded.

 

Income Limits

 

The income limits for the SER program are as follows:

Group Size

1

2

3

4

5

6

Income Limit

$445

$500

$625

$755

$885

$1015

 

Should your income exceed this limit, the excess amount becomes your income co-payment and your responsibility.

 

Countable Income

 

Both earned and unearned incomes, less mandatory deductions, are countable with few exceptions. Examples of income include:

  • Wages
  • Self-employment earnings
  • Social Security Benefits
  • Veterans Benefits
  • Child Support
  • Rental Income

 

Only a DHS Specialist can accurately determine your eligibility for this program. Ask for details when turning in a completed application at your local DHS County Office.
