COUNTABLE INCOME—The total of earned and unearned income (after allowable disregards) not excluded by policy that is expected to be received by the filing unit for the budget/benefit month. COUNTABLE INTEREST—Also known as “proportionate interest.” The fair market value of a property multiplied by an individual’s percentage of ownership. COVERAGE REQUEST DATE—The date an individual requests Medicaid coverage. This date may or may not be the same as the application date. For example, on March 12, Mary applies and is approved for Medicaid for herself but does not request coverage for her children. Mary’s application and coverage request date are both March 12. On May 9, Mary requests coverage for her children. The children’s coverage request date is May 9, but the application date is March 12 (as a new application cannot be required when other family members are receiving Medicaid). Any request for retro coverage is based on the coverage request date. In this scenario, Mary’s could request retro coverage for her children for February, March and April, as those are the three months immediately preceding their coverage request date. CREATOR—Used in terms of a trust, the person who creates a trust, also known as a "settlor" or "grantor". CREDITABLE COVERAGE—Coverage of the individual provided under any of the following: 1. a group health plan, 2. health insurance coverage, 3.

CURRENT MARKET VALUE (CMV) - See Fair Market Value. CURRENTLY AVAILABLE PROPERTY RESOURCES—Assets which an applicant or recipient has a legal right and reasonable practical ability to liquidate.
