GAO found that: (1) half of the Medicaid applicants converted assets from one form to another or transferred assets to another party; (2) asset conversions averaged $5,600 and typically involved setting aside money for burial arrangements; (3) other types of conversions included home repairs and automobile purchases; (4) asset transfers were far less frequent but involved larger amounts of money; and (5) half of the applicants that transferred assets were denied eligibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e U.
