DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI RESOURCE TRANSFERS 11/18 CHAPTER G PAGE 33 When multiple transfers occur within a look back period each must be evaluated individually to determine the uncompensated value of each. The uncompensated values are totaled to determine the total uncompensated value for all transfers that occurred during the look back period. The total is used to determine the period of ineligibility.

20. Period Of Ineligibility The period of ineligibility is the period of time for which the individual is totally ineligible for AG due to a transfer of assets for less than the CMV. The period of ineligibility is determined by dividing the uncompensated value by the ALF/AFCH rate for the area in which the individual lived at the time of the transfer. The result is the number of months in the ineligibility period. Note: If an AG period of ineligibility is assigned, Medicaid eligibility must be determined based on Medicaid guidelines.

20.1. Length Of Period Of Ineligibility A period of ineligibility can be from 1 month up to a maximum of 36 months depending on the amount of the uncompensated value. A period of ineligibility cannot exceed 36 months regardless of the uncompensated value of the transfer. Months in the period of ineligibility run consecutively and are not impacted by  Periods in which the individual may have been ineligible for other reasons, or  Months in which the Undue Hardship Exception applies. Example: Mr. Franklin has been receiving AG for several years. While conducting a redetermination in 8/18, the worker finds that Mr. Franklin transferred a resource for less than fair market value on 12/20/17 and is subject to a 6-month period of ineligibility that begins as of 1/18. The worker also finds that Mr. Franklin was ineligible due to excess income in 3/18 and 4/18. Mr. Franklin's period of ineligibility runs from 1/18-6/18. The ineligibility in 3/18 and 4/18 due to excess income, does not affect the length of the period of ineligibility due to the resource transfer. An overpayment must be determined for the months of ineligibility. See, Chapter G, 3. 20.2. Period Of Ineligibility Begin Date
