5720.2 Look-Back Period

The transfer of property provisions applies only to transfers made on or after the first day of the look-back period. The look-back period is the time period prior to the date an individual receiving long term care services requests coverage for any services described in 5720.1 to begin. The following transfers fall within the look-back period:

For non-trust property transferred before February 8, 2006, if the date of the transfer was in the 36-months before the first month in which the individual requests coverage of long term care expenses to begin.

For trust property transferred before February 8, 2006, if the date of the transfer was in the 60-months before the first month in which the individual requests coverage of long term care expenses to begin.

For property transferred on or after February 8, 2006, if the date of the transfer was in the 60-months before the first month in which the individual requests coverage of long term care expenses to begin.

For all situations above, the look-back period is determined by the date of application or, if prior medical is requested, the prior medical start date.
