Eliminates asset limits in calculating the amount of benefits for any household under any public assistance program

S 1791 eliminates asset limits for households receiving public assistance in New York, meaning people can keep more savings and property while still qualifying for benefits. The bill removes specific dollar thresholds for assets like cash (currently capped at $2,500), vehicles, homes, burial plots, and education funds that previously disqualified households from aid. It directly affects low-income families and individuals enrolled in programs like family assistance or medical assistance under New York's social services law. The change simplifies eligibility by disregarding all household assets in benefit calculations, aligning with federal requirements where applicable.
