Bill overview
This bill limits New Jersey’s Medicaid estate recovery program to federal requirements for recovering costs associated with nursing home care, home and community-based services, and hospital and prescription drug services. It restricts recovery to recipients age 55 or older and defines the ‘estate’ to include only property subject to probate law. The bill aims to preserve more assets for heirs while still complying with federal mandates for Medicaid estate recovery. It also clarifies that recovery cannot include certain assets like reparations for wrongful imprisonment or losses due to Nazi persecution.
