BILL NUMBER: S2542 SPONSOR: RIVERA TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to the determi- nation of eligibility for medical assistance benefits PURPOSE: To clarify that the 2 1/2 year lookback period for home care commencing in October 2020 would only look at transfers occurring after that date, list conditions that lessen the resulting penalty period, and enable home care to be provided under immediate need through attestation. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill makes corrections to Social Services Law § 366. It clarifies that the asset transfer look-back period for long term home care services applies to transfers made on and after October 1, 2020, so it does not have a retroactive effect. It identifies caregiving actions
