Thanks, That is my underwstanidng. I have phone intervwie with SS on Tuesday.I called the 600 number and a local rep from our local SS will call. I will have to b ring her SS card,etc. to local office. The most confusing part was what to apply for. I leanred it was SSI, not SSDI. The pateint adocate at her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) told me that she she is oncsidered having no income as she is in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). That will qualify her for Medicaid as the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) takes Medicaid. It may take 60-90 days but expect it to come through. The hospital I have contacted said SS contacts them , it happens many times every day.
I think it gets tricker before they are in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Comapssion
