When an application is filed by or on behalf of the spouse seeking LTSS, the CSRMA amount determined in the resource assessment is the amount allocated to the community spouse. This amount is deducted from the combined resources of both spouses as of the first day of the first month for which assistance is requested. None of the community spouse’s share of the resources is considered available to the individual when determining his TennCare Medicaid eligibility.
