Abstract

The 1993 Medicaid Estate Recovery Law allows the state to lay claim to a dead person's estate if investigators determine the person received Medicaid benefits for which he or she was not eligible. Maine has spent less than $200,000 on its Medicaid recovery program in the current fiscal year, and has recovered more than $2 million during the past 12 months. The Maine Department of Human Services informed Medicaid recipients of the program in January, and many elderly are outraged and concerned. Details, related article on legislation that would allow Maine to recover Medicaid costs linked to smoking-related illnesses.
