Stop Unfair Medicaid Recoveries Act

Key Points

• Congress would end the rule that states must try to collect Medicaid costs from a person’s estate after they die.
• States would be banned from starting, continuing, or collecting payments for Medicaid costs that were correctly paid for someone.
• Within 90 days, states would have to remove certain Medicaid-related property liens already in place and tell families in writing.
• This could make it easier for some low-income families to pass down a home or savings without a Medicaid repayment claim showing up later.
