What happens after the death of a beneficiary? Is there a Medicaid payback?

After all outstanding bills for any Qualified Disability Expenses are paid, which may include funeral and burial expenses, the remaining balance will become part of the individual's estate and normal probate process.

Under Kentucky law, an agency or instrumentality of the State of Kentucky may not seek payment from a STABLE account or its proceeds for any amount of medical assistance paid for the designated beneficiary unless required by federal law.
