CA Can California put a lien on an inheritance?

Writing for a friend. His parents are putting together a will and he will be the beneficiary of quite a bit of money when they pass. He and his ex partner share a child who is a minor.

The ex has collected food stamps, housing, welfare, medical and any other benefits available since before the child's birth. Will CA expect repayment of all the money that the state has put in to raise this child if my friend receives a large inheritance? Nothing is in a trust, it will go through probate. The parents do not live in CA.

He does not owe back child support to his ex.
