When determining supplemental nutrition assistance eligibility, the department excludes the equity value of a vehicle owned by a household member who is a child who is at least 14 years of age and under 18 years of age, if the child uses the vehicle for education, employment, or looking for employment. The exclusion is limited to one vehicle for each child meeting these criteria. The trade-in value of the vehicle is counted if the vehicle does not meet any other vehicle resource exclusion exemptions.
