How the penalty period is calculated
- Mississippi publishes the divisor on its Chart of Institutional Limits and Transfer of Assets Divisors, alongside the institutional income and resource limits.
Once you have the figure above, the Medicaid penalty period calculator does the arithmetic. This page is the Mississippi rate record; the calculator is the class parent.
What this page does not settle
- The chart carries later columns for scheduled future updates; only the rate effective 1/1/2026 is reproduced here.
Eligibility is decided by the state agency on the whole file, not by this one number. Nothing here is legal advice, and no one should transfer, retitle or give away property on the strength of a worksheet.
