Any feedback regarding Medicaid recovery for term life insurance?

Vegas is spot on as to term goes to beneficiary as indicated in policy.

Also for term it’s the “face value” that should be the factor for LA LTC Medicaid. State can place limits on what face value can be. If you find there’s an issue from the caseworker on its face value, post an update.

You could also try calling the insurance company and see if they've ever encountered the state trying to snap up the proceeds. Let us know if you get an answer from the company.

ESTATE RECOVERY
As required by federal regulations, the State must seek recovery of Medicaid payments for long term care facility services, home and community-based services, and related hospital and prescription drug services from the estate of an individual who was age 55 or older when such services were received.
Medicaid Estate Recovery is not a condition of eligibility. LTC and HCBS applicants/recipients shall be informed at the time of application and renewal that claims for Medicaid assistance received may be subject to recovery from their estate.

It could be determined by the state. Some states are more aggressive than others in recouping Medicaid monies paid out. Nursing home associations are also on board with trying to get their fees paid. As budgets at both federal and state levels tighten up even more, efforts to collect from families will become more intense. I’m not sure if I would count on getting that money. I would suggest calling your state Medicaid office and/or the insurance company.

The insurance money goes to the beneficiaries.
