Bill Summary
Relative to consistent treatment of life estates by the Division of Medical Assistance. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide consistent treatment of life estates in determining eligibility for Medicaid (also known as MassHealth) and in calculating the state's recovery amounts. Specifically, it requires the Division of Medical Assistance to determine the percentage interest of a life estate or remainder interest in property using the methodology outlined in federal tax regulations (26 CFR 20.2031-7). This change would apply both when assessing an individual's eligibility for Medicaid and when the state seeks to recover funds from the sale of a property that has a life estate or remainder interest.
