HB 1097 | Excludes funeral expenses from asset consideration in public assistance |
HB 1097 - This act excludes the value of burial lots or amounts placed in irrevocable prearranged funeral or burial contracts from being considered as assets for the purpose of determining pubic assistance eligibility. The act requires that in cases where the beneficiary of such a contract receives public assistance, any refund due to a cancellation or modification of the contract by the purchaser or his successors must be paid to the state up to the assistance provided.
This bill is identical to SB 701.
