NAELA, working with Justice in Aging, the National Health Law Program (NHeLP), the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR), and the Western Center on Law and Poverty drafted a letter signed by 31 organizations to the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC), a non-partisan legislative branch agency, on the harms caused by estate recovery. MACPAC is currently assessing the impact of estate recovery and potential policy recommendations to Congress. “[T]he relatively minimal revenue generated by estate recovery is far outweighed by the burdens it places on low-income American families,” states the letter.
