Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.05.738

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 16.03.05.738 - ONE-HALF SPOUSAL SHARE

The spousal share is one-half (1/2) of the couple's total combined resources on the assessment date. The spousal share does not change, even if the participant leaves long-term care and then enters long-term care again. The Department must inform the couple of the resources counted in the assessment and the value assigned. The couple must sign the assessment form under penalty of perjury. The signature requirement may be waived for the long-term care spouse if they or their representative says they are unable to sign the resources assessment. A copy of the assessment form must be provided to each spouse when eligibility is determined or when either spouse requests an assessment prior to application.
