Read moreNo. Medicaid has two rights to repayment. First, if the benefit was obtained fraudulently or in error, it can ask for reimbursement. Second, at the death of the beneficiary it can seek repayment from his estate for benefits paid after age 55 or for nursing home care at any age. There are some exceptions to this claim and depending on the state it may only be made against probate property and not against property that does not pass through probate, such as jointly owned accounts or real estate.
