Description

Elva Carpenter was hospitalized at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise with a terminal illness on April 21, 1980. Upon her death on May 4, 1980, a total hospital bill of $10,614.09 was rendered by the hospital to her surviving husband, Clarence Carpenter. While Mrs. Carpenter was in the hospital, Mr. Carpenter, using a county-printed form which he obtained from a county secretary, partially completed an Application for County Assistance. Carpenter would later testify that on or about May 8, 1980, he personally delivered the application, which was neither signed nor sworn to, to Merle Leonard, then Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners; that he had not signed it because he knew his signature had to be notarized by someone; that Mr. Leonard stated that the application was all right. Tr., pp. 10, 12. Mr. Leonard would later testify that he did not recall ever suggesting to Mr. Carpenter that the application was all right even though it was not signed, but that he just took the application. Tr., p. 32. By letter of May 27, 1980, the Commissioners advised Mr. Carpenter that the application was incomplete and did not meet the requirements of I.C. § 31-3404. The letter suggested that additional data be supplied concerning the treatment involved and the dates and costs thereof. The letter concluded with the statement we can do nothing but consider that no formal written application . . . has been filed. The letter, which was addressed to Elva Carpenter at the residence specified in the application -- 519 Wiseman Street, Hansen, Idaho -- was returned undelivered. A second letter sent to Clarence and Elva Carpenter, Route 1, Kimberly, Idaho, was also returned undelivered. This letter was from attorney Lloyd J. Webb, informing the Carpenters that the County Commissioners had directed him to inform them that the incomplete application was rejected. A second paragraph added: Under the law, you have a right to hearing before the Board of County Commissioners to review this denial. If you wish a hearing, please advise either me or the County Commissioners in writing within the next 20 days so that we can schedule the appropriate procedures. A third letter of rejection was sent to Carpenter at Route No. 12, Box 199, Gooding, Idaho, and that letter was ultimately delivered.
