Enactment of this legislation could increase Medicaid estate recovery collections. Collections could take several years or more to reach the maximum amount and would depend on various factors -- including the number of individuals over age 55 receiving Medicaid services, when individuals and any surviving spouses pass away, and the assets available for recovery in each case -- but could be roughly $15 million or more annually, of which approximately 30 percent could be deposited into the General Fund.

The estates of individuals who receive Medicaid services when they are over the age of 55 could be subject to higher rates of collection by ORS under this legislation. Although this would not impact the individuals or their surviving spouses, the amount inherited by heirs of these individuals could be reduced. The amount reduced would vary in each case and depend on the value of Medicaid services provided, among other factors.
