1. List the property with an agent or other knowledgeable source in the business of selling the specific property type; or 2. All of the following: a. continuously advertise the property for sale at FMV in at least one appropriate local media; b. place a “For Sale” sign on the property in clear public view; c. begin showing the property to interested parties (this may be through ‘open houses’ or other appropriate methods); AND d. attempt any other appropriate method of sale. REPAYMENT: The conditional Medicaid assistance that must be repaid is the lesser of the: 1. client’s share of net proceeds balance after deducting the: a. amount necessary to raise the client’s countable resources to the applicable resource limit, based on program and filing unit size (individual or couple); and b. legal encumbrances on the property; or 2. the total amount of conditional medical assistance payments made on the individual's (and spouse's, if any) behalf. The client must repay Medicaid benefits received during the conditional assistance period when the property is sold. It does not matter if the property is sold during or after the conditional assistance period or after the client is no longer receiving Medicaid benefits; the repayment must be made. NOTE: If the client does not repay Medicaid with the sale proceeds as agreed, an overpayment is established. PROPERTY NOT SOLD DURING CONDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PERIOD: Property that is not sold during the conditional assistance period is considered inaccessible only if the client continues to make reasonable efforts to sell it. The property is a countable resource when the client is no longer making continuous reasonable efforts to sell. MEDICAID LIENS: When both conditional assistance and a Medicaid lien apply to the same property, the larger obligation is owed to Medicaid. Normally, the Medicaid lien will be the higher of the two obligations, and will include the conditional assistance period. TRACKING: OPA staff must track the property sale and pursue repayment when the property is sold, regardless of when it is sold. If a valid Medicaid lien exists, Lien and Estate Recovery will pursue repayment. OPA staff must verify that a valid Medicaid lien exists before they cease tracking the property sale.
