Guest guest Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 If the hospitalization was less than 30 days, it will not effect SSI. For Community Medicaid, it does not pay a % of the bill. They pay one of three ways: DRG - Diagnosis Related Grouping - this is how inpatient stays get paid         Medicaid has a certain amount that they pay per diagnosis - regardless of bill amount or Per Diem - flat amount per day to the hospital or Fee for Service        - certain amount for the service provided.        - this is how dr's get paid CATEGORY D (below) is NOT talking about an acute care hospital stay. It is referring to: state operated facilities, and ICF - where Medicaid pays for the individual to live there.  ________________________________ From: patswithers <mysticpatricia@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Sat, May 15, 2010 12:54:41 AM Subject: Re: question for the group  Sherri, If there has been a hospitalization within the month, which Medicaid paid for, will that affect SSI if the full amount is being received?

She is 21 but has not qualified for SSI because of it. Does anybody know how long she has to wait to qualify now that the money is moved? Also, what type of info (receipts etc...) should we start saving to prove her spending and income. She only works 10 hours a week right now.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi , There are a number of pittfalls in funding an OBRA trust. I don't know if you consulted with an atty well versed in this topic or had a 'typical' atty draft the trust. I offer the following as general information and not as specific advice as I do not know the details of your situation. Assuming the OBRA trust is written correctly with all the bells and whistles required by SSI and IL Medicaid, and funded correctly, your child should be eligible for SSI immediately following the transfer of her assets to the OBRA. The attorney who drafted the trust should have obtained a tax ID # for the trust. The attorney must have either obtained a court order or had your daughter sign a power of attorney with a specific transfer power to authorize you to transfer her money to the OBRA trust. Without a court order or specific power under a POA, SSI may take the position you did not have the proper authority to transfer your daughter's money into an OBRA Trust. I also hope the attorney who drafted the trust advised you that you need to put $20 of your own money into the trust first as " seed " money and then transfer your daughter's assets? This is a little known rule but is a must if SSI is involved and the trust is created by a parent or grandparent but without a court order. . You will be required to keep excellent records to show the trust was spent ONLY for your child's benefit. Unlike a typical 3rd party special needs trust, others cannot benefit from the use of the funds in an OBRA trust. You may want to pick up a copy of the book: SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST ADMINISTRATION MANUAL: a Guide for Trustees written by Barbara Jackins. My firm (Spain, Spain & Varnet, P.C.) also offers an annual training to our clients on how to manage a special needs trust so as not to violate state and federal distribution rules. This year's training is offered on April 30th. Our clients are given priority for registration but if we have room, we allow others to register and attend. As for charging your daughter room or board, SSI does not inquire if you are charging your other children. You will need to cut yourself a check each month from the SSI check to yourself as SSI will monitor that your daughter is actually paying what you claim to be charging her. I recommend having the SSI check direct deposited into a rep payee checking account as that will make it easier to keep track of the distributions from her check.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 If she needs a payee, the ssi should be deposited into a payee bank account. I would not deposit her paychecks into the payback trust.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 1. Under SSI rules (not applicable to SSDI) the support MUST go, and go by Court order, not voluntarily, to a d4A or d4C Payback Trust. Usually depending on the Judge and the County with jurisdiction over the Divorce, once the Court issues the order, the Court washes it hands. However, SSA, if SSI, and HFS (Illinois Medicaid Agency) have the right to question expenditures to make sure that they are for the sole benefit of the beneficiary, and, to make sure that the expenditures are not the type that would cause a reduction in the SSI amount, and HFS has the right to see the expenditures to make sure that they are not the type to cause a spend down. On my website I have an article on the impact of divorce obligations on government benefits. Some SSA offices (downstate) have been known to demand prior approval of expenditures.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Child support is considered 'unearned' income. If it is deposited directly into a rep payee account, it will result in a dollar for dollar loss of SSI. You must obtain a court order directing the payment of child support to a d4A trust. All distributions from the trust must be for the sole benefit of the beneficiary. IL Medicaid and SSI will monitor the distribution of these funds closely and improper management of the funds may result in a loss or decrease in the amount of SSI received. The attorney who drafted the d4A trust and obtained the court order should provide you with instructions on how to manage the trust so you do not violate state or federal distribution rules.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Diane- ONLY SSI money should be deposited into the rep payee account. When you get your end of the year Rep Payee Report, it tells you that SSI paid $_____. This should match your checkbook. If other money was deposited into this account, your Rep Payee Report amount will not match your check book. As for Child Support: - the amount paid will affect your SSI amount paid and could jeopardize this benefit & could jeopardize Medicaid - In order for Child Support NOT to affect SSI and Medicaid, you need to:     - have a knowledgable attorney set up a D4a (also known as a: OBRA '93 or payback) trust for you     - that attorney will get you a tax id # for this trust     - your divorce attorney will need to go back to court to have this child support COURT ORDERED paid into this trust Hope this helps. -Sherri ________________________________ From: swedegrl2005 <swedegrl@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Sun, February 6, 2011 12:25:56 AM Subject: Re: question for the group  HI SHERRI.

And attornies out there...... if the child supporyt gets deposited into the payback trust, what are the requirements to getting the funds out to actually use it?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Dear All, What are your different experiences, if any, in the differences between using Lugol's Solution (Transdermally or Internally), SSKI, Iodoral, Iosol and Nascent Iodine (if any one has gone that route, which I don't really see the point in). I love to hear about them. Thanks and Blessings, Surya PS I haven't introduced myself to the group. I am a long time certified nutritionist, sports nutrition consultant, exercise trainer and have a masters in holistic nutrition, amongst other things. www.wohlistic.com will show you a little bit about what I do. I just designed it recently so I don't have details about my nutritional services up there and I didn't come to this group to pitch them.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Christa -- you have lost almost 80 pounds. You are *starving* to death. Period. Notan's right: it *could* be something else, but. . . . Is *anyone* watching your blood work? Is anyone actually AWARE of what's going on with you? That it IS an emergency? Really. Yes. The feet thing happened to me, too. My doc and I are working on getting the bloodwork back to SANE. I'm taking big doses of potassium, and B12. Also, selenium. But pedal neuropathy is VERY common in starvation, and you won't fix it until the starvation is fixed. And the longer it goes on, the more *permanent* damage is done. Mine is retreating a little after six months of treating. But I spect there will always be some. It sort of feels now like I have a tight sock on the right foot. The left, only like I'm standing on sand paper. PLEASE DO SOMETHING, STAT!!!! XOX > > All- > Lately, I have been experiencing constant numbness in my feet. They both feel like they are asleep most of the time and are " tingly " to the touch. Sometimes, I wonder if I will be able to walk. It is quite odd.
