Description

Karen Rahm, in her capacity as Secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), appeals from a judgment entered by the Thurston County Superior Court. That judgment requires DSHS to apply community property laws in computing eligibility for, and the amount of, Medicaid benefits. Rahm has also renewed a motion to stay enforcement of the judgment, pending federal review. The primary issues on appeal are whether federal regulations preempt this state's community property laws for purposes of eligibility for Medicaid, and whether the trial court erred in denying DSHS' motion to file a third party complaint against Margaret Heckler, the Secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
