ALTCS

MA604.B

 

Mr. Addams has a flat rate insurance policy.  It pays $50.00 a day for each day that he is in a nursing home.  The payments are made monthly.

Mr. Addams irrevocably assigns these monthly insurance payments to the nursing home beginning in the month of November.  He cannot change the assignment or get the ongoing payments back.

Any payments Mr. Addams got before November are counted as income in the month he got them.  Starting in November, the payments are not counted as income.  However, if Mr. Addams is applying for or getting ALTCS, the assignment of the insurance payments is as a transfer.
