Resolve, Establishing the Commission to Study MaineCare Estate Recovery

This bill changes how MaineCare handles estate recovery and eligibility for long-term care. It requires the state to refund the state's portion of estate recovery claims to the deceased recipient's estate, starting January 1, 2026. The bill also lowers the standard of proof for asset transfers from "clear and convincing evidence" to a "preponderance of evidence" when determining MaineCare eligibility. Finally, it directs the Department of Health and Human Services to create and distribute public information about estate recovery, long-term care planning, and how family members can be paid for providing home care services.
