Massachusetts S726 aims to protect the homes of seniors and disabled people on MassHealth by modifying estate recovery provisions.

Massachusetts S726 amends estate recovery provisions for MassHealth recipients. It modifies the conditions under which the Division of Medical Assistance can seek recovery from a decedent's estate, particularly focusing on protecting the homes of seniors and disabled individuals. The bill specifies that recovery is not allowed if the property is occupied by a qualifying relative, such as a sibling or child who provided care. It also outlines circumstances where recovery may be waived, such as when the sale of the property would create undue hardship.
