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

HD 1865 amends Mass Health (Massachusetts' Medicaid program) rules to exempt individuals with disabilities aged 55 and older from estate recovery. Currently, Mass Health may seek repayment from a beneficiary's estate after death, but this bill removes that requirement for this specific group. The key change is striking clause (3) from section 31 of chapter 118E, which previously applied estate recovery to people with disabilities under age 55. This policy shift directly affects older adults with disabilities who receive Mass Health benefits, ensuring their estates are not subject to repayment claims.
