Home property is the shelter which the individual owns and which is used by the individual as the individual's principal place of residence. Home property includes the buildings and contiguous property.
Real property held in trust is that property to which the federal government has the legal title but which is being held for the benefit of citizens.
Other real property is any real property other than that having the characteristics of home property or real property held in trust. Other real property includes property owned by the individual but separated from the individual's home property by property belonging to another.
The amount of the lien is the amount of the medical assistance provided by the department on behalf of the individual after June 30, 1994. The lien is limited to the cost of those services specified in SDCL 28-6-23.
