Medicaid has invoiced community spouse for payments that they previously made for Nursing Home spouse that has passed. Comm spouse did spousal refusal as CS was over the allowable resources/assets. Can the city actually do that?? We were told that they may not try to recover some of the costs. Can they seize bank account assets relatively easily?? Or seize SSI monthly income of spouse? What can one do about it? The amount they are looking for seems quite a bit high. Does anyone know how the NYC HRA dept works in terms of trying to recoup the monies? Will they really file a law suit against an elderly comm spouse? Will they settle for less, perhaps a percentage of what they are asking for? If so, any idea as to how much? Any HELP would be Greatly Appreciated!!! Thanks!!!Sat, 04 Oct 2008 06:18:30 GMTGreg
