Husband’s purchase of an annuity resulted in a transfer of resources for less than fair market value; the Commonwealth is not a remainder beneficiary of this annuity; the regulations plainly allow MassHealth to consider as disqualifying any actions taken by either the applicant or his or her spouse, and, as part of this, to require that annuities purchased by a community spouse comport with the provisions of 130 CMR 520.007(J)(2); the annuity here does not meet those regulatory requirements.
