009.09(F)(vii)(2)(a) LOOK-BACK PERIOD.

If it is determined that an individual disposed of a resource to qualify for medical assistance, look back 60 months before the month of application. (i) For State Disability Program Medical, the look-back is triggered when the individual first applies for Medicaid and is in a specified living arrangement, or is on State Disability Program Medical and enters a specified living arrangement. When an individual applies for State Disability Program Medical more than once, the look back period is based on the first date the individual meets both requirements. (ii) To determine the countable value disposed of: (1) Take the equity in the resource, which is the fair market value minus encumbrances; (2) Subtract any compensation received by the individual; and (3) Subtract the allowable resource level from the result of step 2 if this is the first disposal.
