2025 Georgia Medicaid Transfer Penalty

If an applicant for long-term care Medicaid (e.g., nursing home Medicaid) transfers resources for less than fair market value during the 60-month look-back period, a transfer penalty is calculated. In 2024, the Georgia transfer penalty was $10,025. Effective April 1, 2025, the penalty divisor for Georgia Medicaid applicants has increased to $10,965.
