B Previous Penalty Period in Effect At New Application

Programs Manual Section ALTCS MA901

The customer and his spouse transfer their home property to their daughter and their vacation home to their son in May 2009.

The customer applies and is approved for ALTCS in February 2010 and is assessed a penalty period of 80 months for the two transfers, beginning 02/01/2010 and ending 9/30/2016.

The customer receives ALTCS Acute for 12 months, but his eligibility is discontinued when he does not complete the renewal process in February 2011.

In October 2015, the customer reapplies for ALTCS. Because a penalty period was established by the earlier application and has not ended, the remaining penalty period of 12 months ending 9/30/2016 applies to this application, even though the transfer date is before the look-back date for his new application in 10/2015.
