      Sec. 45a-394. (Formerly Sec. 45-204e). Notice to be given when decedent or relative received aid or care from state, including the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Effect on limitation of claims. (a) The application for admission of a decedent's will to probate or for administration of a decedent's estate shall state that the decedent, or spouse or children of the decedent either did, or did not, receive aid or care from the state, which shall also include aid or care from the Department of Veterans' Affairs, whichever is true. A copy of each application which states that the decedent, or spouse or children of the decedent did receive such aid or care shall be sent by the court to the Department of Administrative Services or the Department of Veterans' Affairs, or both, as the case may be.

      (b) In any such case the period for limitation of claims shall not begin to run against the state until such copy has been so sent, or, in the case of a deceased recipient, or a deceased spouse or parent of a recipient of such aid or care whose application alleged he was not such a recipient or the spouse or parent of such a recipient, until the application has been corrected to state his receipt of aid or care and a copy of the corrected application has been forwarded to the Department of Administrative Services or Department of Veterans' Affairs by the court.
