29. 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.
