An income trust is a legal arrangement where a person's income is placed into a trust, which allows them to qualify for certain benefits or services that have income limits. In the context of HCBS (Home and Community Based Services), an income trust can be used to help a client who has income over the limit still be eligible for the services. By placing their income into a trust, the client's income is no longer considered when determining eligibility, allowing them to receive the HCBS services.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5 yearExplanation
HCBS has a 5-year look back period for resources. This means that when determining eligibility for HCBS (Home and Community Based Services), the program will review the applicant's financial resources for the previous 5 years. This allows the program to assess if the applicant has transferred or disposed of any assets in order to qualify for the benefits. By having a longer look back period, HCBS aims to prevent individuals from intentionally depleting their resources to meet the program's asset limits.Rate this question:

This means that the client did not receive fair market value for their resources, which may indicate an attempt to hide or reduce their assets in order to qualify for certain benefits or assistance programs. The term TWFC is an abbreviation for transfer without fair consideration.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Period of ineligibiltyExplanation
If a client has a transfer without fair consideration, it means they have transferred an asset or property without receiving anything in return or receiving less than its fair market value. In such cases, there may be a period of ineligibility imposed on the client. This period of ineligibility refers to a time during which the client may be ineligible for certain benefits or services due to the transfer. This is often done to prevent individuals from intentionally divesting themselves of assets in order to qualify for government assistance or benefits.Rate this question:
