Re: ACES$ and FEIN numbers

[Guest guest]

That is a GREAT idea, Charlotte.

I may have his contact info but if you have it handy, pass it on and I will call

him.

I will let everyone know when Asher (my hubby) gets his FEIN number...we started

our process on Jan. 9th...he applied for the Fein, and we have signed up, I

think, about 4 Direct Support Workers between Jan 9 and yesterday. So, let's

see how long the application process REALLY takes! Our goal is to use some of

Noah's funding in the first month in which it became available to him.

ACES$ and FEIN numbers

Greetings, Folks!

Jury duty is over and now I am in SERIOUS catch-up mode.

One thing I have been working on for way too long is the Home-Based Support

Services " Frequently Asked Questions " document I want to post on our website.

Yesterday morning (very early) I sent from ACES$ the section I had

written on their services asking for comments and clarifications. I had included

a question addressing the idea of applying for the FEIN number before even

getting your award letter to speed up the process. asked me NOT to include

that suggestion and I quote him below.

" Please do NOT encourage people to get EIN¢s on their own. They will not know

the correct information to give the IRS to ensure that they are set up properly.

The only delay in signing up with us is a 5 to 7 day period to process the

paperwork. They can sign up with us the day they receive their award letter. "

Ellen, I am wondering if it wouldn't be just a brilliant idea to ask to

be one of your " guest speakers " ?

Okay, back to work.....

" Please do NOT encourage people to get FEIN# on their own. They will not know

the correct information to give the IRS to ensure that they are set up

properly. "

I just showed my husband this comment and his response was...so...why don't they

publicize how to do it correctly so that everyone knows and can file ahead of

time? That makes sense to me!

We are really not as stupid as we seem

Hi Ellen-

I am a couple weeks ahead of you, as I mentioned awhile ago when you

first asked for posts on Home Based Support, and from what I

understand, we cannot access the $ that became available to my son

from the date we received his award letter, until I was approved as

his personal support worker, (and my husband received his FEIN no.)

UNLESS, my son received services from an approved medicaid provider

between the date of the award to the PSW/FEIN approval. If anyone

knows differently, PLEASE let me know!! We filled out all the forms

for Aces$ the last week of Nov., and I called Brad of Aces$

on around Dec. 26th to ask why we hadn't heard anything, and he said

that they were still waiting for my husband's FEIN no., but that I

could start filling out the timesheets for personal care on Jan. 1st.

So, in other words, for us, it took a little over a month to access

my son's funding. Because we weren't approved for PSW's or had an

FEIN no., our agency told us we couldn't access the funding previous

to when that happened, but as I said before, there is still alot of

learning about the Adult Waiver that the agencies still need to

figure out, so we definitely should try to get an Aces$ person on

IPADD as a featured guest- (or Brad , who helped

us fill out all the forms, and I just e-mailed our first timesheet to

a couple days ago!) thanks...
