Gifts
Assets | Income | Summary of Assets & Income | Gifts
Now that we have an understanding of the Assets and Income criteria, lets consider the Look-Back and Ineligibility periods.
The Look-Back Period
The Look-Back Period is now 60 months. This is one of the major changes in
Medicaid law as of January 1, 2006
The State Medicaid Office Looks back in time 60 months for gifts - this incldues any transfers.
A gift given within the last 60 months could result in an ineligibility period beginning when the person applies for Medicaid ICP. This is also a new change.
