Medicaid rules generally allow recipients to keep their primary home during their lifetime, however federal law requires state Medicaid programs to recover costs from estates of deceased recipients. Homeownership is one of the few ways low-income families are able to build wealth and yet the burdens of estate recovery fall disproportionately on marginalized communities. Legal assistance, elder rights, and aging services professionals play a critical role in providing accurate and timely information to their clients about Medicaid estate recovery, deploying legal strategies, and working with relevant state agencies to minimize undue burden.
During this training, presenters will:
- Provide an overview of Medicaid estate recovery;
- Discuss the role of estate recovery in the context of long-term services and supports; and
- Review case scenarios and solutions.
This training will be hled on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. E.T.
