Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 There are a couple of exemptions you can take you just have to make sure you take the right one : i.e. One for disabled taxpayer, one for disabled child over 13, etc. and deductions that can be taken due to diagnosis. SSent from my iPhone I believe you need to be on disability through SSI. > > Can we take the disability credit if we have a pdd diagnosis? or am I pushing my > luck? -tammy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 It was my understanding that medicaid waiver does waive income requirements in every state. We just got my son on this in NY. We would never be approved based on income. In NY there is no waiting list for this. There is a ton of paperwork and it took about 6 months to go through multiple rounds of approvals. With medicaid, we have a secondary insurance that covers copays on meds and labs, dr and hospital visits that are in network, all therapy services that we would have to pay for out of pocket, diapers, and respite (which is babysitting.)

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 There's also reimbursement on clothing, theraputic gudgets and swimming etc. $500 for a year. But if u have morethan $500 the service coordinator can put thru another agency.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 One more thing, did you actually apply for medicaid itself at the Social Security office? Perhaps the hold up is one of the earlier steps, like getting a non-medicaid service coordinator to help you apply. We had to first apply to our local LIDDSO which is part of the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities to get approved for services. Then, we had to get a non-medicaid service coordinator. This coordinator helped us do all the paperwork and steps necessary to get approved for the " waiver " and then apply for medicaid. Medicaid itself only took a month to get approved based on the waiver of financial need. Caryn > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
