<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for any direction or guidance you are able to provide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
