Transfer Penalty May Be Hardship When Daughter Refuses to Return Property

A short summary from Elder Law Answers:

A Massachusetts court overturns the state Medicaid agency’s denial of a waiver of a penalty period that the agency assessed after an applicant’s daughter refused to cure a disqualifying transfer by returning property given to her by the applicant. Lusignan v. Bigby (Mass. Sup. (Bristol), No. BRCV2007-01114, Oct. 17, 2008).
