Has anyone else's clients been assigned the Emmon value of a car?  A client was just assigned $209.00 for the value of his used car.  It is his only car.  The caseworker told me that because he is a widow and he is considered permanent placement in a nursing home, the car is a countable resource.  I think I could fight it but, the value is so low, it doesn't matter.  I just want to know in case a future client has a Ferrari.
