[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172586"] klmno - No offense meant, but why not just apply and see what happens? Once you apply, they should schedule a face to face interview at which you bring all your documentation (financial, proof of identity, proof of citizenship, etc) and they can tell you then if you qualify or not, as well as why. If they say no, they say no. It doesn't mean you can't apply again should your circumstances change. I imagine they will find a way to average your income. They want the most recent pay stubs, but if there is a big discrepancy from one month to the next, I'd take a few months worth and let them come up with an average. With our state, the income guidelines for children's medicaid is just what it says. Those numbers already reflect the allowable deductions for utilities, etc. As far as SSI, my understanding is that a child has to have a qualifying disability, but there are income limitations as well. So, the lady may have meant that difficult child qualifies because of his disability, but SSI will also look at income. [/QUOTE]
