Change provisions relating to medicaid estate recovery

This bill changes how the state's Department of Health and Human Services recovers money paid for Medicaid benefits from the estates of deceased recipients. It clarifies what counts as part of a recipient's estate and adds new exceptions to recovery, such as when a sibling or adult child has lived in the home and provided care that delayed the recipient's institutionalization. These changes affect how and when the state can seek repayment of medical assistance after a recipient's death.
