醫療補助 (Medicaid俗稱白卡) 會拿走我的屋子嗎? 了解白卡資產回收 (Medicaid Estate Recovery)

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

您正在考慮申請醫療補助白卡(Medicaid),但您聽說您的屋子可能會被拿走?

或者,您是白卡的受益人,正擔心您的屋子可能面臨風險嗎?

白卡有可能對您的屋子提出索賠,但不會是在您還活著的時候。

這被稱為資產回收 (estate recovery)。

白卡資產回收並不適用於所有的白卡受益者,但它確實適用於某些人

 

什麼是白卡資產回收 (Medicaid Estate Recovery)?

白卡資產回收是一項法律,要求白卡從某些已故白卡受益人的遺產中追回白卡計劃服務提供的所有款項的資金。

 

它適用於何人?

該法律適用於接受白卡福利時年滿 55 歲或以上的任何人。

 

資產回收如何運作?

當白卡受益人死亡時,白卡將立即從受益人的遺產中尋求回收。

遺產包括在死者死亡時屬於死者的任何資產和財產。

這包括房屋、儲蓄賬戶 (saving account)、股票 (stocks) 和債券 (bonds) 等資產。

即使死者的財產可能會歸其繼承人 (heirs) 所有,但在財產轉讓給繼承人之前,白卡資產回收先採用。

這意味著即使一個人有遺囑,白卡資產回收仍然適用於在遺囑中涵蓋的那些項目。

但是,如果一個人沒有任何資產,醫療補助將無法回收。

當白卡受益人沒有資產,白卡不能向其繼承人索賠。

 

那我的屋子呢?

如果白卡資產回收適用於您,白卡可以對您的財產提出留置權 (file a lien against your property)。但是,如果出現以下情況,白卡不會立即尋求這樣做:

  1. 已故受益人有在世的配偶;或

2.未滿 21 周歲的在世子女:或

3.根據社會保障的標準,仍在世的失明或永久完全殘疾子女;或

4.在受益人去世之前居住在該房屋中的死者家屬,在受益人去世時繼續居住在該房屋中。(這僅適用於受益人的主要住所)

如果存在這些情況,白卡將延遲資產回收,直到該例外不再適用,例如孩子年滿 21歲或尚存配偶過世。

 

那我該怎麼辦?

如果您收受白卡,並且您擔心資產被回收,或者如果您正在考慮申請白卡, 但想知道如何處理資產回收,請尋求專業的法律建議以解決您的具體情況。
