(b) Circumstances beyond a person's control shall include any of the following situations:
(1) Death of a part owner of the property and inability or refusal of the administrator or executor of the estate or other responsible person to complete disposition of the property if such person is other than the applicant or beneficiary.
(2) Misplaced reliance by the applicant or beneficiary upon what appeared to be a bona fide offer.

(B) Apparently bona fide but eventually found not to be bona fide.
(3) Prolonged illness causing the seller to be homebound or hospitalized during the utilization period and unable to take the necessary action to meet utilization requirements or to arrange for an agent to do so.
(4) Like reasons which the county department determines meet the general intent of good cause.
