Individuals who received Medical Assistance or General Assistance Medical Care before their death may be subject to an estate claim under Minnesota law.
A collections worker will review the medical assistance case after the death of the individual and send a final accounting form to a member of the family. The worker will review the completed form and decide if there is an amount that must be collected from the estate to pay back medical assistance.
If you have questions about a final accounting form or about a deceased family member who received assistance from the County, please call the assigned worker.
