Household Goods

The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines household goods as items that are the beneficiary’s personal property that is found in or near the beneficiary’s home and is used regularly. The Social Security Administration does not count household goods as resource to the individual (and spouse) if items fall under their definition of household goods.Some examples of such items include (not an exhaustive list):

Appliances (Microwave, Refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.)

Furniture (Bed, Sofa, etc.)

Electronic Equipment (Computer, Television, etc.)

Carpets

Cooking and eating utensils

Dishes

“Items that an individual acquires or holds because of their value or investment are not household goods, even if they otherwise meet the definition of household goods in SI 01130.430C.1.”

Personal Effects

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA) personal effects are such items that are personal property to the beneficiary that are worn or carried by the individual, or that have an intimate relation to the individual. The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not count personal effects as resources to an individual (and spouse) if the items fall under the above definition of personal effects.

What About Other Personal Property?

Other personal property may count as a resource to the beneficiary. The way in which it may count is if an individual holds the property or items because of its value or investment. If the item is not excluded under another provision it will be considered a countable resource, and if it does not fall under the Social Security Administration’s definition of a household good or personal effect.
