1) Initial Rules Calculation
The customer applies for ALTCS on December 5th. The CSRD is calculated to be $30,000. In December, the customer’s counted resources are $22,000, and her husband’s counted resources are $13,000. Resources are determined as follows:
The customer’s resources in December $22,000 The Community Spouse’s resources in December + $13,000 Total counted resources = $35,000 Community Spouse Resource Deduction (CSRD) - $30,000 Total considered resources = $5,000
The total counted resources are more than the resource limit of $2,000, and the customer is not eligible for ALTCS.
