An Act relative to changing Mass Health estate recoup for people with disabilities beyond age 55

This bill amends Massachusetts law to alter how Mass Health recovers costs from the estates of people with disabilities who are over the age of 55. Specifically, it removes a particular clause that currently allows the state to seek repayment from these individuals' estates after they pass away. The change directly affects elderly disabled Mass Health recipients and their families by preventing the state from claiming money from their assets following death. By striking out this specific legal provision, the legislation modifies the existing rules for estate recovery in this specific demographic.
