SSI Application/Phone Interview

May 10, 2003

Hi everyone. Some of you had asked me how the phone interview went this past

Wednesday for Evan's SSI application and I just realized that I forgot to post

about it. Sorry!! Anyway, the interview was scheduled for 11:15 AM and the

lady that called was on time....that was a shocker to begin with....LOL.

Ok....she asked tons of questions, of course, and then we got to the part about

income and I had to tell her hubby's income because I don't have any. They do

know hubby is Evan's step-father but, for whatever reasons, still have to

consider his income even though they didn't for Medicaid. But, there is another

woman I know whose son is in SPED pre-school with Evan and she had a phone

interview on Wednesday also. She was rejected over the phone because of income.

We were not, so let's hope that's a good sign. Anyway, the woman was real sweet

and she said that I needed to be aware that there are instances where some

people get denied and shouldn't have been (hmmmm....ya think?? LOL). She said

that if we get denied then I will either get a letter or a phone call from her

and that as soon as I receive the letter and/or phone call I am to call her and

tell her that I disagree with the decision and ask for the paperwork to

re-submit. Silly me was looking for a hidden message in there and was wondering

if she's trying to tell me that we should be approved?? Anyway, I don't know

anything yet, of course. She is sending more (yes, more) paperwork to fill out

and then I send in what I already filled out together with the new stuff. She

said it could take up to 90 days but that it would help if I had any copies of

any of Evan's medical records confirming the diagnoses of ToF and Autism.

hehehehe.......do I have copies of some of his records??? hehehehe......silly

question. She said to send her whatever I had and it would be better to send

them too much then not enough and it could speed of the process. So, that's

where we stand and as soon as I find out anything I will certainly let you all

know about it. Thanks, again, for the prayers and for being concerned about

us!!

Thanks so much and Happy Mothers Day to all of you!!

Love, prayers and heart hugs,

Debbie (GA), Mom to Evan (4.5 y/o with ToF, RBBB, Autism Spectrum Disorder,

Asthma); (now a whole year old and HH and NT?); and my 3 angel babies

whom I will finally see when God says it's time!

9:1-3
