        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Clothing From the Definitions of Income and In-Kind Support and Maintenance, Exclusions of One Automobile, and Household Goods and Personal Effects Under SSI From Resources (950F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We propose to make the following changes to our rules on determining income and resources under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

1.  We propose to remove clothing from the definition of income and from the definition of in-kind support and maintenance. As a result, we generally will not count gifts of clothing as income when we decide whether a person can receive SSI benefits or when we compute the amount of benefits.

2.  We propose to simplify our rules on how we exclude an automobile in determining the resources of a SSI applicant or recipient. Specifically, we propose to exclude one automobile from resources if it is used for transportation, without consideration of its value.

3.  We propose to change our resources counting rules in the SSI program by eliminating the dollar value limit for the exclusion of household goods and personal effects. As a result, we would not count household goods and personal effects as resources when we decide whether a person can receive SSI benefits.]]></ABSTRACT>
