2005 Idaho Code - 31-3414 — REPAYMENT BY RECIPIENT

                                  TITLE  31
                           COUNTIES AND COUNTY LAW
                                  CHAPTER 34
                        NONMEDICAL INDIGENT ASSISTANCE
    31-3414.  REPAYMENT BY RECIPIENT. By acceptance of county assistance an
applicant agrees to repay the county for all or any portion of expenses paid,
when the board finds the applicant is able to repay all or any portion of the
charges over a reasonable period of time and/or has assets which can be
encumbered for future repayment. Reimbursement for assistance shall be
credited to the county indigent fund and need not be budgeted or appropriated
in the manner required in chapter 16, title 31, Idaho Code, but shall be
available for expenditure at any time for the purposes of the county indigent
fund.
    The board may provide for work repayment at no less than minimum wage, by
such recipients as are employable.
    Upon payment of charges for an indigent person, the county making the
payment shall become subrogated to all the rights of the provider and to all
rights of the indigent person or their legal representatives against any third
parties who may be liable for such nonmedical charges. The county's right of
subrogation in no way relieves the applicant or provider of responsibility as
delineated in sections 31-3404, 31-3409, 31-3413 and 31-3415, Idaho Code.
