Summary
The legislation amends Vermont’s Reach Up cash‑assistance rules by establishing a $9,000 asset ceiling for families and specifying which assets count toward that limit. It removes the exemption for retirement and child‑education savings accounts, while still excluding earnings‑derived assets and tax‑credit amounts from continuing eligibility. The changes become effective on July 1, 2026.
