[WSBAPT] DSHS Creditor Claim for 2009 expenses - valid claim?

[Jana DeMasi]

Hello all,

My attorneys asked that I reach out to ask if anyone has come across a situation where DSHS files a creditors claim for expenses incurred more than 10 years prior to decedent's passing.

We have an estate where DSHS timely filed a creditors claim for medical and pharmacy expenses ($1,470) incurred in 2009 that are recoverable per RCW 43.20B.080/41.05A.090 and WAC 182-527. The claim period ends in January. Is there a time limit or statute of limitations on how long the State can recover funds?

Thank you for any direction or guidance you are able to provide.

Kindest regards,
Jana
