Community Health, Dept. of; making claims for Medicaid estate recovery of funds from ABLE accounts maintained through any qualified ABLE account, except as required by applicable federal law; prohibit

Summary

The bill changes state law so the Department of Community Health cannot seek Medicaid recovery from any qualified ABLE account when the account holder dies, unless federal law mandates it. It applies to all ABLE accounts held by Georgia residents, protecting the savings meant for disability‑related expenses. The change is intended to remove a financial barrier that discourages people with disabilities from enrolling in ABLE programs.
