5724.1 Transfers of Income

If a lump sum is transferred or refused, the total amount of income is considered uncompensated value as per 5725.2 and a penalty period shall be established. For transfers of an ongoing source of income that would normally be received on a regular or intermittent basis, the amount of income that was transferred shall continue to be considered available in determining the individual's patient liability, client obligation or participant obligation. As transfers only impact LTC, the income is not considered in any Medically Needy determination.
