[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 172751"] klmno, I empathize with you on your situation. I would definitely apply - if you don't you never know. I have applied for Medicaid (even though i knew financially we didn't qualify) I did specify for the Katie Beckett Waiver though. I received a denial for Medicaid, but then I received a letter stating that my app had been forwarded to the office that handles the Katie Beckett waiver. I submitted an application for SSI for difficult child and had my interview in April. I was told it could take up to 6 months to find out. I was also told by the case worker at the hospital that difficult child would qualify for SSI but be prepared for a denial - because that is just what happens sometimes and then you have to appeal. difficult child already receives survivors benefits because his father is deceased. The SSI payment probably wouldn't kick in until he turns 18 then he would receive the SSI instead of survivors. The biggest thing is though that if difficult child qualifies for even $1 on SSI he will AUTOMATICALLY get medicaid. That is what I am hoping for even if no additional funds come in (even though I could really use them), I need the Medicaid coverage for difficult child to help out with the difference in what our current coverage is. I am drowning in medical bills for difficult child even with insurance - I can't imagine not having any coverage at all. Christy [/QUOTE]
