Minidoka County updates indigent billing policy, approves one application
Summary
The Board approved changes to indigent account procedures—monthly statements will no longer be mailed and monthly payments will not be required—while liens remain; the Board also conditionally approved indigent application #2026-4 pending estate fund review for burial assistance.
The Board approved an indigent-services letter that changes billing procedure: the county will stop mailing monthly statements and will no longer require monthly payments; liens on accounts remain in place. Residents may request account balances at any time for lien release after payoff.
Separately, the Board approved indigent application #2026-4 on condition that remaining funds in the applicant's estate be reviewed after death to determine available burial assistance. The motion to approve the policy change and the conditional application approval were both recorded as carried in the minutes.
