Section 741. Resource assessment required

Latest version.

Article 2. Assessments of Couple's Resources

A resource assessment shall be completed by the entity determining medical assistance eligibility on all medical assistance applications for married institutionalized individuals who have a community spouse. If an applicant alleges that his marital status is unknown, it shall be his responsibility to establish his marital status. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to locate his community spouse. If attempts to establish marital status or locate the separated spouse are unsuccessful or the community spouse does not provide the required information necessary to complete the resource assessment, the medical assistance eligibility application will be denied due to inability to complete the required resource assessment, unless undue hardship, as defined in 12VAC30-110-831, is met.
