[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 655392, member: 8831"] I THINK that once they are out of the home for either 30 days +1 or a full calendar month +1 that they qualify for Medicaid and SSI on their own accord, meaning that your income no longer factors in. (presumably the diagnosis/hospitalization qualifies them on the medical end). I vaguely recall that the SSI portion is a small stipend, like $30/month, so the money isn't the important thing, its the access to the Medicaid that is gold. its been a long time for me so my memory may be rusty--please check into it yourself. if that is in fact still the case, your (non-paying) insurance becomes primary and Medicaid is the secondary insurer. before you went to any Residential Treatment Center (RTC) you'd want to [I]verify[/I] they are a Medicaid participant so that it all works as planned. hope that helps!
