This
case presents an issue of first impression as to whether a beneficiary’s
renunciation of her right to the remaining principal in a terminated residual
trust, originally created by will, constitutes a transfer of assets for less
than fair consideration thereby affecting her eligibility for Medical
Assistance - Long Term Care (MA-LTC) benefits.
Specifically,
Dorothy Schell petitions for review of the final administrative action order of
the Department of Public Welfare, affirming the adjudication and order of an
administrative law judge ) recommending the denial of Petitioner’s appeal from
the determination of the Northumberland County Assistance Office that she was ineligible for MA-LTC benefits
for the period from January 28, 2011, through August 16, 2012. We affirm.
