Confirmation: Start Date for New York Community Medicaid Lookback is On Hold

After hours of diligent and relentless phone calls and emails, we just confirmed from the New York State Department of Health that due to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency, there is no timeline for the implementation of the 30-month (2.5 years) transfer of assets lookback period for coverage of New York community-based Medicaid.

Please see the reply from Lisa Sbrana, Director of the Division of Eligibility and Marketplace Integration of the Office of Health Insurance Programs of the New York State Department of Health.
