Steps to take

  1. Determine whether the deceased received Medicaid medical assistance at age 55 or older.
  2. Confirm whether a surviving spouse, a child under 21, or a blind or permanently and totally disabled child survives the recipient, which bars recovery.
  3. Contact the DHHS Estate Recovery Unit to confirm whether a claim applies and request the amount owed.
  4. Address any claim as a debt of the estate before distributing assets to heirs.
  5. Apply for an undue-hardship waiver through the Estate Recovery Unit if repayment would cause the family hardship.
