Examples

1) Transfer Penalty begin date – First approved month

The customer applies for ALTCS in November. He gave a piece of land to his daughter two years ago, which is within the look-back period. The customer is over income in November but is eligible and approved for December. The transfer penalty begins in December, the first approved month.

 

2) Transfer Penalty begin date – Month the transfer was made

The customer was approved for ALTCS in July. In November, she gives her home property to her son. Since the customer is already on ALTCS, the transfer penalty period begins in November, the month of the transfer.

 

3) Transfer Penalty begin date – First approved month

The customer applied for ALTCS in October and applied for prior quarter coverage for September. On November 10, while the application is still pending, the customer gives $15,000 cash to her nephew. On November 30, the application is approved for September, October and ongoing. The transfer penalty period begins in September, the first approved month.

 

4) Transfer Penalty begin date – Still in prior penalty period

The customer was approved for ALTCS Acute beginning in May, due to a transfer penalty period. The penalty period ends after 22 months in March. 

The next May, his ALTCS eligibility ended because he did not complete a renewal.

In September of that year, he reapplies, and the ALTCS worker discovers that the customer sold his home property and gave the money to his children that August while he was not on ALTCS.

The customer’s penalty period from the earlier application does not end until March 31 of the next year. The new penalty period for the transfer in August begins April 1.
