Nebraska stops Medicaid recovery on ABLE accounts

After CMS approval, Nebraska does not seek Medicaid estate recovery from Nebraska ABLE accounts. When a designated beneficiary dies, the state does not claim money left in the account or paid out from it for Medicaid benefits paid after the account was opened. The state also does not file a claim under federal section 529A(f). This protects ABLE savings for the beneficiary’s estate and heirs.
