| MassHealth Revises Eligibility Divisor to $256 Per Day
Effective March 1, 2007, the penalty for transferring assets was revised to one day of ineligibility for every $256 transferred from one day for every $246. This revision reflects an increase in costs.
The date MassHealth receives the application or eligibility review form determines which of the following amounts to use when calculating the period of ineligibility for a disqualifying transfer of resources:
If received before March 1, 2007, $246 is used; If received after March 1, 2007, $256 is used. For example, for an application filed prior to March 1, a transfer of $100,000 would have caused 406 days of ineligibility, while if the application was filed after that date, the same transfer would cause 390 days of ineligibility.
