IMPORTANT ESTATE RECOVERY NOTICE:
If you receive Medicaid in a nursing facility, ICF/MR facility, or under a home and community based waiver program, the total amount of
the Medicaid benefits paid on your behalf will be a debt to DHS and may be recovered from your estate after your death. Your estate is
the property you own at the time of your death. DHS will not make a claim against your estate while you are living. DHS will not make a
claim against your estate after your death if your spouse is still living, or if you have dependent children under age 21 or blind or
disabled children. DHS will collect the debt, if any, by filing a claim in your estate. Collection may not be made if it is not cost effective
to DHS or if your heirs apply for a hardship waiver after your death. A hardship may exist if the estate property is the only source of
income for your heirs, if that income is limited, or if there are other compelling circumstances.
CERTIFICATION: I HAVE READ THE ABOVE STATEMENTS; AND I AGREE TO THEIR PROVISIONS.
