Requirements

Effective for resource determinations made for the month of May 1991 and subsequent months through April 1994, unspent relocation assistance payments from a state or local government which are received through April 1994 are excluded from resources for 9 months. The last month for which this resource exclusion may apply is April 1994.

This is an excluded resource for Family Medicaid.

Basic Considerations

To be excluded from the resources under this provision, the payments must be of the type described under Federal Programs, Miscellaneous, in Section 2499, Chart 2499.1, Treatment of Income in ABD Medicaid.

Payments received after July 1993 cannot be excluded under this provision for the full 9-month period but only through April 1994.

Interest earned on unspent relocation assistance payments is not excluded from income or resources by this provision.

Procedures

If an individual alleges that his or her resources included unspent relocation assistance payments from a state or local government, complete the following procedures:

  • Document the date(s) and amount(s) of such payment(s).

  • Obtain a statement as to the date(s) and amount(s) of any account deposits corresponding to the payments.
