The long-term care spouse has sixty (60) days, from the date their application is approved, to transfer their ownership of the RTA resources to the community spouse. The long-term care spouse must state, in writing, their intent to transfer the RTA resources to the community spouse within the protected period before they can be Medicaid-eligible. Resources not transferred within the sixty (60) day protected period are available to the long-term care spouse, effective the day they entered the facility.
