Protecting Homes from Medicaid Recovery for Low-Income Heirs.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: States gain the option to stop mandatory recovery of a deceased Medicaid recipient's home. This protection applies if the home is transferred to an heir eligible for Medicaid or earning below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level. The change aims to prevent low-income families from being forced to sell their inherited home to cover long-term care costs.

This bill modifies rules regarding state recovery of Medicaid costs after a recipient's death. It gives states the option to waive the recovery claim on the deceased person's home if the property is transferred to a low-income heir or someone already eligible for Medicaid. This change helps protect vulnerable families from losing their homes to repay government medical expenses.
