<p class="MsoNormal">Let me add this wrinkle, and I should have included it originally for better accuracy, decedent died over two years ago and no probate has ever been filed. Does that change any SOL responses to the two year rule? Estate is also under
$100k with a small piece of property family is concerned about being attached if they try to transfer it.<o:p></o:p></p>

I think I might've even started the conversation. If I remember correctly, a couple of our regular commoners said that they had had no trouble asserting the two-year bar against DSHS for a claim on Medicaid recovery. I think the logic was that even though
it was federal money going to the State that was used to pay Medicaid (and the Feds can ignore our S/L), the State process for obtaining reimbursement is subject to the state statutes and therefore is subject to the two-year bar.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
