NYS Medicaid regulations state that any application for Medicaid for nursing home level of care requires a review of income and resources of the applicant ( and their spouse) for the 36 months (3 years) prior to the application. For example, if an application is made in February 2002, the resource review starts February 1, 1999 and all resources owned beginning from that date and during the next 3 years are examined and reviewed. Please refer back to question #5 for a few examples of the type of resources that are reviewed, A 36 month review is only required for applications for nursing home level of care.
