SI 01150.001 instructs field offices (FOs) to obtain transfer of resources information during an initial claim or redetermination interview and to forward this information to the State Medicaid agency.

SI 00520.012 imposes the $30 SSI payment limit to SSI recipients who are ineligible for Medicaid coverage while in an institution due to the transfer of resources provision.

Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 provide transmittal memorandums for exchange of information between the local Social Security FO and the Medicaid agency. Exhibits 1 and 2 should be photocopied as needed.

Exhibit 1 is to be completed by the SSA claims representative when an initial claim or redetermination interview is completed and information is obtained that a resource was transferred for less than fair market value on or after July 1, 1988.

Attach a copy to Exhibit 1 of the responses to question 49 of the SSA-8000-BK SSI application concerning the transfer of resources.

If the case is in the Consolidated Claims Experience (CCE), attach a printout of the "Resource Selection" page and "Property / Cash Given or Sold" page.

For redeterminations, completing the information shown on Exhibit 1 will meet the documentation requirements explained in SI 01150.012B.5.

In addition to transmitting an MN diary, mail Exhibit 1 with attachments to the following addresses:

• •

  For Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas residents, use the State agency addresses in SI DAL01730.045.

• •

  For Oklahoma residents:

  Oklahoma Department of Human Services
  
  Family Support Services
  
  Attn: Health Related & Medical Services
  
  P. O. Box 25352
  
  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73125

Upon receipt of Exhibit 1, the State Medicaid office will take whatever action is required according to internal State operating procedures.

Exhibit 2 is to be completed by the local Medicaid caseworker only at the point that the SSI recipient is determined to be ineligible for institutional services under Medicaid because of the transfer of resources policy.

The information used to apply the transfer of resources provision may come to the Medicaid agency from a variety of sources, including the Social Security Administration.

The Medicaid caseworker will provide both the first month and the projected last month of ineligibility for institutional services under Medicaid.

The Medicaid caseworker will mail Exhibit 2 to the local Social Security office.
