Please remind your Clients and/or your Client's Representative Payees that the 1-year exemption on resources that is over $2,000.00 due to the first Stimulus payment of $1,200.00 is almost up. Clients were given 12 months from the time they received the stimulus payment in 2020 to spend down the funds. Client's medicaid eligibility might be jeopardized if resources such as bank accounts, are still over $2,000.00 after the 12-month exemption. |

Just remember that it is just an investigation being conducted based on a "complaint" that either CTA or APS received and that all services provided by you are being done, there is nothing for you to worry about. There is noting incriminating against you or the agency, we all must follow the rules as outlined in the "Hawaii Administrative Rules" and I appreciate everyone's assistance.
