On March 15, Henry transferred from the hospital to a contracted skilled nursing facility for recovery. Does he meet the I-SNP residency requirement?

Henry does not meet the Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) residency requirement because the criteria state that an individual must be or expected to be a resident of a skilled nursing facility for 90 days or longer to qualify for enrollment. In Henry's case, since he has just transferred to the facility on March 15 and there is no indication that he will remain there for at least 90 days, he does not fulfill this requirement. His current status in the skilled nursing facility does not guarantee that he will stay long enough to satisfy the residency criteria for the I-SNP. Therefore, the conclusion that he must be in a residency situation for a minimum of 90 days is essential to determine eligibility for this type of plan.
