Families are facing the loss of their homes due to Medicaid estate recovery. A recent NY Times article highlights the plight of surviving family members who must repay Medicaid for long-term care costs incurred by their deceased loved ones, often leading to the sale or seizure of the family home. Key Points from the article: * Medicaid estate recovery is mandated by federal law for beneficiaries over age 55 who used long-term services. * This practice can impact low-income families the most, perpetuating poverty and stripping away assets meant to be a foundation for future generations. * States are seeking repayment from estates, sometimes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, for Medicaid-funded long-term care. * Critics argue that this policy is not only harmful but also ineffective, as it recovers only a small fraction of Medicaid’s long-term care expenditures. * Efforts are being made to reform or end this practice, with some states implementing measures to reduce the burden on low-income families. 💭 What are your thoughts on Medicaid estate recovery?
