Oregon Statutes - Chapter 416 - Recovery of Aid and Support - Section 416.340 - Collection of claim against estate of deceased; waiver of claim.

(1) With respect to any claim which the Department of Human Services may have against the estate of a deceased person, the Department of Human Services may, subject to such terms as it may prescribe in any such case:

(a) Secure payment of such claim in whole or in part by the acceptance of assignments, conveyances, notes, mortgages and other transfers of property or interests therein.

(b) Waive such claim to the extent that the Department of Human Services finds that the enforcement thereof would tend to defeat the purpose of the public assistance laws.

(2) To the extent that the need for aid resulted from a crime committed against the recipient, a claim for recovery of the amount of such aid defeats the purpose of the public assistance laws. [1963 c.114 §2; 1985 c.522 §6]
