Hi Maria,
Welcome to forums.
I think they are quite justified in sending you the letter for estate recovery program. Usually they go for the recovery after the death of the recipient. I don't think they have come to know about the quitclaim transfer. So, hopefully they have sent you the letter as a part of their duty to collect the costs of providing medicaid.
Thanks

IS MEDICAID A LOAN AND THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT TELL ANYONE?
Hi Lorri,
Medicaid is a medical benefit program which is administered by states and subsidized by the federal government. It is a Federal program which helps in covering long-term nursing home care for individuals who are financially unable to do so. To know more about Medicaid, check out the following link:
