Summary

The bill directs the Department of Community Health to set up a Medicaid estate recovery program that can collect unpaid medical assistance costs from a recipient’s estate, but only after federal approval and with numerous protections for spouses, children, caretakers and siblings. It also defines hardship exemptions, bans interest and tax‑lien placement, and explicitly bars recovery from a recipient’s ABLE savings account. The measure only takes effect if a companion bill (HB 5923) is enacted.
