Appeal 1702339
- MassHealth denied the Appellant’s application for long term care benefits due to excess assets. Ordered to allocate all income (minus PNA) and excess assets to the Community Spouse and to establish eligibility date consistent with the application date.
Appeal 1600831
- Denied initially because assets were determined to exceed the limit for MassHealth. In appeal, out-of-state real estate held in the appellant’s spouse’s name is determined to be inaccessible and non-countable at this time. Therefore, appellant is eligible for MassHealth.
