Bill > H2210

This bill amends the Massachusetts Medicaid law (MassHealth) to prevent the state from imposing a period of ineligibility for individuals who demonstrate that a transfer of assets was not intended to qualify for Medicaid. The bill outlines several factors the state must consider when evaluating whether the individual's intent was for a purpose other than Medicaid eligibility, such as a history of charitable giving, having resources below the eligibility limit, or transferring assets to help a relative in financial crisis. If the individual establishes any of these factors, the burden shifts to the state to prove the transfer was intended to qualify for Medicaid.
