29 Moneys held by deceased spouse
For the purposes of this Act: (a) moneys held, paid or expended, on any date by an applicant jointly with a deceased spouse of the applicant, shall be deemed to have been held, paid or expended, as the case may be, on that date by the applicant alone; (b) moneys held on any date by a deceased spouse of an applicant shall be deemed to have been held on that date by the applicant; (c) where moneys that were held by a deceased spouse of an applicant on the date of death of the deceased spouse are, by reason of paragraph (b), to be deemed to have been held on that date by the applicant, the Secretary may treat those moneys as having continued, in whole or in part, to be held by the applicant for such period after that date as the Secretary thinks reasonable and as having continued to be so held in the same form as the form in which the moneys were held by the deceased spouse of the applicant on that date; (d) moneys paid or expended on any date by a deceased spouse of an applicant shall be deemed to have been paid or expended, as the case may be, on that date by the applicant alone; and (e) moneys borrowed by a deceased spouse of an applicant shall be deemed to have been borrowed by the applicant.
