Excess Assets (Archive)

Any client who is not exempt from an asset limit and whose asset total is over the applicable asset limit has excess assets. Excess assets are a bar to eligibility for all health care programs.

How to treat excess assets varies by program and whether or not the client is an applicant or an enrollee.

When a client with excess assets reduces the assets to within the appropriate program’s asset limit, be sure to document details regarding that reduction.

Include:

l  The dollar amount of the excess assets.

l  How the assets were reduced.

l  The dates and amount of expenditures.

l  The date the asset reduction was completed.

l  Information regarding any improper transfers.

Excluded assets converted from one form to another may continue to be excluded for a certain time period. See Excluded Assets for more information.

See the following sections for specific program provisions:

Excess Assets - MinnesotaCare.

Excess Assets - MA and GAMC.
