Revises provisions governing the recovery of certain benefits paid under Medicaid. (BDR 38-479)

SB 64 prevents Nevada from recovering Medicaid benefits from ABLE accounts upon the death of the account holder. It prohibits the state from seeking repayment from leftover funds in an ABLE account or filing claims against the account, unless federal law requires it. This directly affects Nevada residents with disabilities who use the state’s ABLE Savings Program and receive Medicaid benefits. The bill also requires the state to stop any ongoing efforts to recover Medicaid funds from these accounts. The change aligns Nevada’s practice with federal protections for ABLE accounts, which shield these savings from affecting public benefit eligibility.
