<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sure there’s a simple answer to this question, but I have yet to find it:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
