Probate Claims Notice

The Wisconsin Medicaid program provides health care services to persons who have limited income and resources.   The Estate Recovery Program seeks repayment for the cost of certain long term care services paid for by Medicaid.   If the decedent received these benefits, it may be required that you complete and file the original Probate Claims Notice (F-13033) with the Probate court and provide a copy to Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the County Clerk.
