The check and/or money order are receipts of payment. Financial Management will post all payments. If no referral has been made prior to the repayment, an eligibility worker must complete the Overpayment Details-Referral Details page immediately so the claim can be established, and repayments can be accepted. 4650.00.00 BENEFIT RECOVERY FOR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY A Benefit Recovery claim can be implemented when a transfer of property penalty was not applied timely to the member’s case. A transfer of property by the member without adequate consideration is not permitted and if applied late it would not be considered an agency error. There will be times when part of the penalty overlaps with a period where the individual was previously determined eligible and received Medicaid long-term care services. In this situation the claim would be initiated to recover the part of the nursing home per diem paid for by Medicaid. Completing the claim would cover the necessary advance notification to the member. 1 IC 12-15-2-19 2 42 CFR 433.36
