The figure Oregon publishes
| What the state lists | Figure |
|---|---|
| Initial month on or after October 1, 2024 | $14,585 |
| October 1, 2022 to October 1, 2024 | $10,342 |
| October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2022 | $9,551 |
How the penalty period is calculated
- Where there are multiple transfers by the individual and their spouse, the transfers are added together before the division.
- The quotient is not rounded. A fractional month is converted to days using the number of days in the next month, and a fractional day is rounded down.
Once you have the figure above, the Medicaid penalty period calculator does the arithmetic. This page is the Oregon rate record; the calculator is the class parent.
What this page does not settle
- The rule keys the divisor to the initial month of the penalty, not to the application date.
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.
