Medicaid Estate Claim Against Deceased Woman's Home Waived Under Hardship Rule

Original: After She Died on Medicaid, the State Sent Her Estate a $140,000 Bill and Named the House. Her Son Had Lived There With Her for Nine Years on $31,000 a Year, and Under the State's Own Hardship Rule the Claim Was Waived

A state filed a $140,000 Medicaid estate-recovery claim against a deceased woman's house, including a lien on the property. Her son, who had lived there with her for nine years on an income of about $31,000 a year, challenged it. Under the state's own hardship waiver rule, the claim was ultimately waived and the home was protected.

Why now: Medicaid estate recovery threatens family homes and the hardship waiver outcome resonates with people worried about losing inherited property
