     256D.46 Emergency Minnesota supplemental aid. 

    Subdivision 1.    Eligibility.  Emergency Minnesota 
 supplemental aid must be granted if the recipient is without 
 adequate resources to resolve an emergency that, if unresolved, 
 will threaten the health or safety of the recipient.  For the 
 purposes of this section, the term "recipient" includes persons 
 for whom a group residential housing benefit is being paid under 
 sections 256I.01 to 256I.06. 

    Subd. 2.    Income and resource test.  All income and 
 resources available to the recipient must be considered in 
 determining the recipient's ability to meet the emergency need.  
 Property that can be liquidated in time to resolve the emergency 
 and income, excluding an amount equal to the Minnesota 
 supplemental aid standard of assistance, that is normally 
 disregarded or excluded under the Minnesota supplemental aid 
 program must be considered available to meet the emergency need. 

    Subd. 3.    Payment amount.  The amount of assistance 
 granted under emergency Minnesota supplemental aid is limited to 
 the amount necessary to resolve the emergency.
