If an individual 55 years of age or older received certain Medical Assistance benefits and dies, the department will reimburse the Medical Assistance program by recovering these costs from the assets of the person's estate. An estate exists when a person dies and his or her assets are distributed by will or state law.
Although there is no statute of limitations, Pennsylvania's estate recovery statute does set forth a time period in which the state must respond to a request for a statement of claim submitted by the duly appointed personal representative of an estate.
A request for a statement of claim must include the following: A statement that the personal representative is requesting a statement of claim against the decedent's estate. The decedent's name. The decedent's last address. The decedent's date of birth. The decedent's date of death. The decedent's Social Security Number.
Claims Not Reduced to Judgment See PEF Code §3532(b)(1). No claimant shall have any claim against distributed real property unless such claimant has, within one (1) year after the decedent's death, filed a written notice of claim with the Clerk of Court.
The State Cannot Take Your Property While You're Alive It's important to say immediately that the state government cannot take your house or any other property while you are alive. The Estate Recovery Program only starts after someone receiving Medicaid benefits has died.
The form can be obtained by contacting the Estate Recovery Program at the above address or by calling them at 1-800-528-3708. Information is also available at the Estate Recovery Program Web site at .dpw.state.pa/ServicesPrograms/Other/003670689.htm.
