An Act To Amend The Laws Regarding Estate Recovery And Planning For Long-Term Care
Died in Possession of the Senate when the Legislature adjourned Sine Die and was PLACED IN THE LEGISLATIVE FILES. (DEAD)
Summary
The proposal directs Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services to return to a deceased recipient’s estate any state‑collected Medicaid recovery after deducting collection costs and federal payments. It also changes the evidentiary standard for proving improper asset transfers from “clear and convincing” to a “preponderance of evidence.” Finally, the bill orders the department to publish easy‑to‑understand brochures about estate recovery, long‑term‑care planning, and how family members or guardians can be paid for personal‑care services.
