B. 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:

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:
