About
The Estate Recovery Program in Des Moines, IA, is a state-mandated initiative that seeks repayment for Title XIX funded medical assistance, such as Medicaid, after a recipient's death. It applies to individuals aged 55 and older and those under 55 residing in care facilities who cannot return home. Under Iowa law, the program can claim assets from the deceased's estate, which may include property and bank accounts. Exceptions exist for surviving spouses and disabled children, where debts may be waived under specific circumstances. The program also oversees the handling of excess funds in burial trusts following the payment of funeral expenses.
