Should Estate Recovery Be Tied to Welfare Programs?
I just got through reading about the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program. Such a program is designed to afford the state the opportunity to recover the money they paid toward your Medicaid (after the age of 55) via seizing and selling your estate. Now different states have different rules on the matter, but on the whole, I think its a great idea and I did not know it existed until today. Shouldn't all Welfare programs be subject to estate recovery regardless of what age you are when you receive the benefits?
