But every state in the nation has a Medicaid Estate Recovery Program. It is mandated by the federal government. It only comes into effect after the individual has died and there is no surviving spouse. And even then much of an estate is exempted. How do I know this? I spent the last 15 years of a 37 year RN career as an RN Medicaid field case manager in Texas largest metropolitan area. And I saw this enacted ZERO times.
