Modifies provisions relating to the recovery of public assistance funds from recipients' estates

Summary

The bill lets state and county agencies claim money they spent on a person's care after the person dies, by filing a claim against the decedent’s estate. It sets limits so claims aren’t filed if collection would cost more than the debt or would hurt surviving spouses or dependents. It also requires a release from MO HealthNet before a probate estate can be closed.
