[QUOTE="OTE, post: 4254"] As you may know, SSI gives him Medicaid in most states. When there's another insurance the Medicaid becomes the secondary insurer. But it will take a long time to get the SSI approval so I wouldn't plan on it right now. Just a question... did your difficult child agree to apply for SSI? Has he accepted the disabled designation? He's certainly not going to get approved unless he's willing to tell the truth about his issues over and over to various SS people. He'll have to admit to his work history and his part in his inability to hold a job. This is where many people fail to get SSI, particularly BiPolar (BP) people with grandiose thinking. And as he's over 18 you have no right to his medical records and cannot apply for him. I'll also tell you that there are some ss people, and some ss judges who hear these cases who have no sympathy for a sub abuser- they refuse to see it as an illness- they think it's willful behavior and will not approve such SSI apps. So you have to focus the app on mental illness, not sub abuse. They also may not approve an app if the person is not taking the prescribed medications. Again, the view is that they willfully refuse to take medication which could enable them to work. So an SSI app can be an uphill battle with a difficult child who was in a mainstream school, has a high IQ, lives independently, etc. [/QUOTE]
