Bill overview
This bill proposes changes to how Mass Health (the state’s health insurance program) handles estate recoupment for individuals with disabilities who are 55 years of age or older. Currently, when these individuals pass away, their Mass Health benefits are recouped from their estates. This bill seeks to modify this process, potentially reducing or eliminating recoupment in certain circumstances, aiming to provide greater financial security for individuals with disabilities and their families. The bill is intended to address concerns about the financial burden of recoupment on estates of people with disabilities.
