Oregon DHS Children, Adults & Families Self-Sufficiency Programs Draft Administrative Rules

January 15, 2008 On April 1, 2008, the Oregon Department of Human Services will implement a strict new Medicaid estate recovery rule that will enable the state to place a lien on a beneficiary's home to recover the costs of long-term care.

Currently, only North Dakota and Minnesota have similar rules . . .
