The figures in the life expectancy table are used to determine the life expectancy of a beneficiary of an annuity or a lender. The value of a life estate or a remainder, which is based on life expectancy of the life estate holder, continues to be determined from MA-2230, Figure 4, Life Estate/Remainder Interest Tables. The values in these tables have not changed.
MA-2240 - Transfer of asset evaluations and sanctions no longer apply to PLA in home health services and supplies.
MA-2240 - Figure 1 has been updated with the current life expectancies.
MA-2241 – As the transitional policy ended, this section has been deleted.
This is effective with all applications taken on or after November 1, 2010.
