Statute text

(a)At the time of application for Medi-Cal benefits, the department shall provide to any applicant who is aged, blind, or disabled, other than an individual applying for, or receiving, aid under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200), Article 5 (commencing with Section 12200) of Chapter 3, or Article 7 (commencing with Section 12300) of Chapter 3, and to the applicant’s spouse, legal representative, or agent, if any, a clear and simple statement, in writing, in a form and language specified by the department, that explains the circumstances under which an interest in a home may be transferred for less than fair market value without affecting Medi-Cal eligibility.

(b)The statement required by subdivision (a) shall be in the following form: “NOTICE REGARDING TRANSFER OF A HOME FOR BOTH A MARRIED AND AN UNMARRIED APPLICANT/BENEFICIARY A transfer of property interest for less than fair market value in a Medi-Cal beneficiary’s home will not cause ineligibility for Medi-Cal benefits if at the time of the transfer, the home would have been considered an exempt resource. This is only a brief description of the Medi-Cal eligibility rules. For more detailed information, you should call your county welfare department. You will probably want to consult with an attorney, your local legal services program for seniors, or the local branch of the long-term care ombudsman program. I have read the above notice and have received a copy. Dated: ______ Signature: _________”
