ORS 411.632

If it reasonably appears that a recipient of public assistance or a recipient of medical assistance has assets in excess of those allowed to a recipient of such assistance under applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, and it reasonably appears that such assets may be transferred, removed, secreted or otherwise disposed, then the Department of Human Services or the Oregon Health Authority may seek appropriate relief under ORCP 83 and 84 or any other provision of law, but only to the extent of the liability. The state shall not be required to post a bond in seeking the relief.
