Medicaid’s Estate Recovery Program is a federally mandated program where a state’s Medicaid agency seeks reimbursement for certain benefits (including payment made for long-term care) correctly paid from estates of Medicaid beneficiaries. Recently, numerous articles have appeared in the media highlighting Medicaid authorities seeking estate recovery from the former home of the Medicaid beneficiary. This presentation will review the federal rules and the Connecticut rules regarding estate recovery.
