[QUOTE="donna723, post: 407664, member: 1883"] Yes, the fateful letter from our local Dept. of Human Services arrived today. I have an official case number and case worker assigned to me and everything! The letter starts out: "[I]DHS has decided you don't qualify in any of the groups of TennCare Medicaid ..."[/I] Well, pooh! Whatever will I do now? But I guess I would be a whole lot more upset about it if I had ever actually APPLIED for Medicaid! Which I didn't! What the heck???? I have never, EVER applied for Medicaid! Never even crossed my mind! I retired last September after working for the State for 24 years. I have my State pension and I'm on Social Security now ... no way would I be eligible for Medicaid. Yet I have a case worker assigned to me and an official case number now and they spent 33 cents of tax payers money to mail me a letter saying that I don't qualify! Are they also sending rejection letters to the millions of other people who don't qualify for Medicaid and never applied? I can just see the thousands of case workers it will take to send out letters to all those millions of people who HAVEN'T applied for Medicaid! That's a heck of a lot of 33 cent letters to mail! Mind boggling! And just to make sure there is no doubt that I understood that I was rejected, they also informed me in Spanish, Bosnian, Somali, Arabic, Kurdish-Badinani and Kurdish-Sorani! Just for fun though, I'm going to call my "case worker" tomorrow and ask her why I got this letter. And then I'm going to tell her that I didn't really understand the letter because my English isn't good and I only speak one of those African tribal languages where they make those "clicking" sounds, then demand a translator! :whoopdedoo: [/QUOTE]
