on with this string as I hope it helps someone. Earlier I posted that I
was allowed to leave a voice message (in the tree that was supposed to be DSHS
Medicaid – Estate Recovery), and that is the good news. Got a call back in
about 1/2 hour... great. Very friendly guy however he described himself as a
child support guy, and I said “This is a DSHS lien payoff for Medicaid” so he
said “let me try to get you a better phone number” and I said I have the name of
the “authorized rep.” and he said great let me see... and finally gave me a 360
phone number for that rep (this lien was filed 4/21). So I called it and
the recording said “this is not a working number for DSHS”.</SPAN><SPAN
