Stop Unfair Medicaid Recoveries Act

Summary

The bill eliminates the federal mandate that states run Medicaid estate recovery programs and narrows the situations in which a state can place a lien on a Medicaid recipient’s home or other property. It requires states to remove any existing liens within 90 days and to notify the affected individuals, and bars new recoveries of correctly paid assistance after the law takes effect. This aims to protect beneficiaries from losing their homes to Medicaid debt.
