For initial cases with excess resources due to real property, the repayment period begins with the month of request. Since the liquidation provision is not allowed for months of retroactive medical eligibility, the repayment period will never include these months.
For ongoing cases, the repayment period begins at the point the real property becomes available or would otherwise cause excess resources.
If the client fails to report the existence of real property or its availability or the worker fails to take action and the property causes excess resources, the repayment period begins with the month the Agreement to Sell Real Property and Repay Assistance is signed. The months before the agreement was signed when the client had excess resources are treated as an overpayment (see 468 NAC 3-008.07B ff.).
Note: The repayment period and the liquidation period may not begin at the same time.

Example:
The worker learns on September 15 that real property belonging to the
client became available on July 10 causing excess resources. The client
signs Form IM-1 on September 22.
The liquidation period begins October 1. An overpayment must be recouped
for July and August.
