Dear Listmates,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Decedent-H, veteran from armed forces, divorced since 2003, passed away in March 2016. After expiration of 4-month creditor claim period, PR gets the IRS 1095-B Health Coverage form for 2015 and 2016, listing ex-W as “covered individual,” decedent
as “responsible party” and Defense Finance & Accounting Services as “issuer.” </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Potential estate exposure for any ex-spouse claims?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Quite possibly, the defense people had no record of the dissolution. The decree of dissolution was faxed to them recently. Not a single document in decedent’s records indicates that Decedent had anything to do with ex-W health insurance after
dissolution.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Through numerous calls and a huge runaround, PR still cannot get satisfactory answer whether ex-W ever made any claims against the insurance and whether there is any outstanding balance. The ex-wife denies having done so. Tricare for Life, actual
health insurance provider, would not provide any information to the PR.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We are at a point where everything else is done, but we are still concerned not to have a definitive answer on this issue. Tempest in a tea pot?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for your input.</div>
