USDA HB-1-3555, Chapter 9 (Income Analysis), § 9.4
CALCULATING INCOME FROM ASSETS [7 CFR 3555.152(d)] Household members with cumulative net family assets (non-retirement) of $50,000 or greater, must have those assets reviewed for annual income purposes, as indicated in 7 CFR 3555.152(d). Lenders must review the most recent asset information provided by applicants and household members at the time of loan application. Net family assets with actual earnings will use the stated rate of interest to calculate annual income. Net family assets that do not earn interest will use a current passbook savings rate (verified through the lender’s personal banking rates, online website, etc.) to calculate annual income. If the applicants have ownership in a business, or are self-employed, the lender should closely review the asset accounts to verify assets are not transferred between a personal account and a business account and vice versa. These accounts should function as two separate financial tools, one for personal transactions and one for business transactions. In the event the assets from the business account and personal account are co-mingled, the co-mingled assets would need to be included in the calculation of net family assets. Refer to the Asset section in Attachment 9-A for individual asset types and options for documentation/verification. Paragraph 9.5 Adjusted Annual Income
