Medical Services – Appendix H, Transfer of Resources-History Page 2 of 3 date of the second application, or the dates of subsequent applications if not eligible at the second application. Imposition of Penalty Period When Transfer Occurred 9/1/81 through 6/30/88 (through 9/30/89 for Inter-Spousal Transfers) The value of uncompensated transfers occurring within 24 months prior to the month of application/redetermination will be divided by $1000 to determine the number of months of ineligibility for all Medicaid services. Any remainder will count as an additional month. For example, an uncompensated transfer of $41,500 divided by $1000 equals 41.5 months, or 42 months of ineligibility. The first month of ineligibility will be the month following the month of transfer. When Transfer Occurred 7/1/88 through 8/10/93 The length of the period of ineligibility will be the lesser of: a. 30 months, or b. A number of months equal to the total uncompensated value of the transferred resources (the difference between the FMV of the resources at the time of transfer and the value of compensation received for the resources) divided by $1500.00. Any remainder from the division will be dropped. EXAMPLE: A $15,500 uncompensated transfer would result in 10 months of ineligibility ($15,500 divided by $1500 equals 10, with $500 remaining. The $500 would be disregarded, and would not count for an additional month of ineligibility. For uncompensated transfers made 7/1/88 or later, the period of ineligibility will begin in the same month that the transfer was made, NOT in the month following the month of transfer; AND When uncompensated transfers are made 7/1/88 or later and an individual applies for nursing facility or Waiver services, that individual will not be eligible for a vendor payment or Waiver services until the period of ineligibility has expired. An individual in a nursing facility WILL be eligible to receive a Medicaid card during the period of ineligibility, provided he/she is otherwise eligible. However, an individual who has applied for Waiver Services will NOT be eligible for a Medicaid card only, unless that individual is found eligible in some category other than a Waiver category.
