[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 599602, member: 84"] I re-read what I wrote in that last reply........... and that is what I get for typing with a severe headache before the tylenol kicks in. LOL But I'm not sure if I can explain it better because I've never been quite sure I understand it myself. Travis gets SSDI. Last year he was notified that he would pay 124.00 per month out of his SSDI for medicare. He was getting 700.00 and something.......step down took effect he dropped to 600.00 and something. (yes, that hurt too) I wasn't too pleased, as one of the big reasons we opted for disability was to get the kid into treatment for the blood disorder again. CW said that the state will take over Travis' medicare. (I have no clue what she means by that I have a moron for a CW) Once the state takes over his SSDI will return to the normal amount. But the state version (?) will only cover 80 percent of his medical anything, which means Travis would have to cover 20 percent himself. Laughable as when you don't have it I dunno where they think it's going to come from. I can further confuse the issue. Katie's biomom also gets SSDI. She has the 124.00 "step down" only hers is like a deductible. Any month she has a doctor appointment or picks up medications she has to go to family services and pay the step down fee BEFORE she can be seen by the doctor or whatever, so they cover the cost of the visit. So she does her best to see every doctor she can in the same month and make sure they all write scripts that last several months. That one has me totally baffled. Maybe I should ask Katie if she has biomom as a dependent or has her helping pay the bills. Maybe that makes the difference? I dunno. This junk is so confusing I don't even think the govt workers know what their doing. ugh [/QUOTE]
