No QIT means No Medicaid If Income Exceeds Cap. Petitioner entered the nursing home in July 2007 and applied for Medicaid in August 2007. No one told Petitioner a qualified income trust was needed. A denial was sent in October and Petitioner reapplied in November 2007, establishing the QIT by December 17, 2007. Eligibility was denied for August through November, which was affirmed by the ALJ. In affirming the denial, the ALJ cited Section 2407-1 stating “The QIT may NOT be backdated.”
