An individual is not eligible to receive benefits under this chapter if, at any time before or after making application, the individual or the individual’s spouse has made any assignment or transfer of any asset for the purpose of making that individual eligible for the benefits. Assignment or transfer includes any action or failure to act that effects a transfer, renunciation, or disclaimer of any asset or interest in an asset that the individual might otherwise assert or have asserted, or which serves to reduce the amount that an individual might otherwise claim from a decedent‘s estate, a trust or similar device, or another individual obligated by law to furnish support.
