[WSBAPT] DSHS Claim Against Estate

[Heather deVrieze]

Was DSHS timely provided with direct notice to creditors and the decedent's social security number as required by RCW 11.40.010, 11.42.020 and 11.62.010? If so, I think they are effectively barred, as any other creditor.

Subject: [WSBAPT] DSHS Claim Against Estate

Dear Colleagues,

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this question, but I have yet to find it:

Is DSHS exempt from having to present a claim against an estate within the creditor claim period when seeking recovery for state medical assistance? In this case, the claim period expired on July 14, 2018. The DSHS claim was not submitted until July 17, 2018.
