By skyforbes Welp, the severe dysfunction has arrived. I have had FL Medicaid help program and Share of Cost for many years with mostly no problem due to disability. Suddenly in 2024 I was erroneously disqualified due to a misunderstanding on their part about my special needs trust being counted as an asset. It was easily cleared up and no problems until this Sept when I had to renew. Same issue. My Special Needs Trust is incorrectly being counted as an asset. I have SSDI, $23 food stamps (lol what a joke) and my Medicaid SOC & Help program (paid for Medicare monthly premium and helped with prescription prices) have both been denied due to "the value of assets are too high for this program". This will really F*** me up if I can't get it fixed. Should be easy to clear up, just like last year except now I can not get anyone on the phone. I have tried every number i could dig up and they are all either no longer connected, keep me on the line for a bit and then disconnect due to high call volume, or I leave messages for weeks and never receive a return call.
I have tried:
calling many different numbers with no success, reapplying for medicaid and putting in various notes about why it is being incorrectly denied (denied again anyways), and I've requested a hearing.
Any other suggestions are appreciated. What can I do now?
