Steps to take

  1. Determine whether the deceased received Oregon Health Plan long-term care services at age 55 or older.
  2. Contact the ODHS Estate Administration Unit to confirm whether a recovery claim applies and request the amount.
  3. Address the claim as a debt of the estate before distributing assets to heirs.
  4. Ask the Estate Administration Unit about an undue-hardship waiver promptly if recovery would cause hardship to a person receiving the deceased's property.
