1 Tex. Admin. Code § 358.338 - Treatment of a Trust Established with Zebley v. Sullivan Settlement Funds
(a) The Texas Health
and Human Services Commission excludes a Medicaid-qualifying trust established
for a minor child using a lump sum payment received in the settlement of
Zebley v. Sullivan from countable resources under undue
hardship provisions. Undue hardship exists because the minor child would
otherwise be forced to spend the settlement funds on services now covered by
Medicaid when the funds will be needed once the minor child reaches
majority.
(b) A trust established
using Zebley v. Sullivan settlement funds is excluded under
undue hardship policy, even when the trust is set up on or after August 11,
1993.
