[QUOTE="Critter Lover, post: 223111, member: 6297"] My son was on the waitlist for the medicaid waiver for two years until we went to crisis situation in June. The Agency for Persons with Disabilities is funded by the Medicaid waivers program in Florida. Each state has their own agency.....however the waitlist are LONG and unbelievable. That is why I started the thread in the Water Cooler section about needing 900 signatures to get Obama to end the waitlist so everyone can get services. If your child is getting SSI or SSDI your child does not lose those payments.....Medicaid helps with the medical side of needing behavioral services, in home services....anything that you applied for your child needing....even work placement support. I do not know how old your child is but this is the program that my son is now on in the apartment with the support staff. Also if you get put on the waitlist for the waivers and when you eventually get placed on....if you have insurance on your child then Medicaid will be secondary and your insurance primary. My son will drop off of our insurance since he no longer lives at home and Medicaid will be primary until he is eligible for Medicare in June. [/QUOTE]
