Medicaid Estate Recovery in Florida: key facts

Who is subject
Recipients who received Medicaid medical assistance at age 55 or older. Assistance provided before age 55 does not create a recoverable debt.
Recovery deferred
No recovery while the recipient is survived by a spouse, by a child under 21, or by a child who is blind or permanently and totally disabled.
Homestead protection
A debt under the Act is not enforced against property exempt from the claims of creditors under the Florida Constitution or laws of the state, which includes constitutional homestead.
Undue hardship waiver
The Agency may waive recovery for undue hardship. Hardship does not exist solely because recovery prevents heirs from receiving an anticipated inheritance.
