  • 2. 

    In 2008 the federal government changed the "look back" period for which Medicaid assistance may be denied due to "gifts" ___.

    • To cover only the medically indigent

    • To relax the rules

    • To provide relief to middle class elderly

    • From 3 years to 5 years look back

    Correct Answer
    A. From 3 years to 5 years look back
    Explanation
    In 2008, the federal government changed the "look back" period for which Medicaid assistance may be denied due to "gifts" from 3 years to 5 years. This means that when determining eligibility for Medicaid, any gifts or transfers of assets made by an individual within the 5 years prior to applying for Medicaid will be reviewed. This change was likely made to tighten the rules and prevent individuals from transferring assets in order to qualify for Medicaid assistance.
