[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 55111, member: 1514"] What do you mean you got turned down because you own a house? Do you mean you own more than one house? Or just the house you live in? The reason I ask that question is you can own the house you live in and a car to drive. You can have so much in resources. There is a limit...I think its 2000 in resources after you dont count certain things such as the house you live in, the car you drive, and certain other things. I own my own house. I get social security disability but I was eligible for SSI but I get too much disability income to be eligible for SSI so I only will be eligible for medicaid. Its a nightmare of paperwork. Maybe I should explain further. There are two programs. Social security disability which is SSDI which is Social Security Disability Insurance which people pay into when they work thru FICA taxes. If you work long enough to qualify for this then you get a payment based on your work record and the last 10 quarters that you worked. Then there is SSI which is Supplemental Security Income which is federal welfare based program for people who become disabled who have not worked long enough to qualify for SSDI or are children. If you get SSDI you get Medicare. If you get SSI you get medicaid. If you get both SSDI and SSI you get Medicaid and Medicare. [/QUOTE]
