Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to eliminating a "look-back period" for home care for non-institutionalized Medicaid applicants; and repealing certain provisions of such law relating thereto
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the "look-back period" for home care services for non-institutionalized Medicaid applicants. Currently, Medicaid reviews asset transfers made within 30 months before an application for long-term care services to determine eligibility, which can result in a penalty period during which an individual is ineligible for community-based care. The bill removes this review requirement for non-institutionalized individuals, meaning that asset transfers will no longer impact eligibility for home care services. The look-back period will continue to apply only for nursing facility services, which will still have a 60-month review of asset transfers. By removing this provision, the bill aims to make home care services more accessible for Medicaid applicants by eliminating potential barriers related to prior asset transfers. The change would take effect immediately upon enactment.
