If the community spouse's income, including income from their CSA and income-producing resources in their CSRA, is less than the minimum CSNS, the CSRA may be increased. The CSRA is increased by enough resources transferred from the long-term care spouse to raise the community spouse's income to the minimum CSNS Resources included in the transfer are presumed to produce income at the treasury rate, whether or not the resources produce income. If the community spouse shows they are making reasonable use of their income and resources to generate income, the Department may waive the treasury rate requirement. Actual income produced by the resources transferred to the community spouse is used to compute the CSA. A higher CSA can be requested under Section 727 of these rules. If the transferred resources produce more than the treasury rate, the actual income produced is used to determine the additional resources that can be transferred to the community spouse in the CSRA. The long-term care spouse must transfer the resources to the community spouse, or the CSRA is not revised.
