12VAC30-110-860. Protected periods of eligibility.

Subject to 12VAC30-110-870, for 90 days after an initial determination of eligibility, resources in the institutionalized spouse's name necessary to meet the community spouse resource allowance shall be disregarded in determining continued eligibility of the institutionalized spouse. An institutionalized spouse's eligibility shall be protected to allow him time to legally transfer resources pursuant to 12VAC30-110-850 if the institutionalized spouse expressly indicates in writing his intention to effect such a transfer. Absent such an expression of intent, the protected period will not extend beyond the end of the month in which eligibility is being determined. The 90-day protected period shall begin with the date the agency takes action to approve the institutionalized spouse's initial eligibility for medical assistance for institutional, waiver, or hospice services. No extension of the protected period shall be permitted.
