So, I just recently moved to Florida about 4 months ago. I receive supplemental security income $946/mo on disability. I have a 2 yr old daughter. We just moved from out of state. I never had an issue trying to get medicaid before. Well, when i moved, i let my dcf know in the state i mkved from that i was moving, so obviously we cancelled medicaid there. Well, since i moved, i was under the assumption that, as soon as i got a florida address, that medicaid would automatically enroll me in medicaid here. But thats hasnt been the case. First dcf here in florida denied me for ebt until i go after child support for my ex bf (my childs father). We agreed in court peoceedings back from the state we moved from to not enforce child support. I'd rather not go through the entire court process again here in florida, to deal with child support again. My ex is an excellent father and takes care of our child just as much as I do. So, if we can't get ebt, I guess we have to deal with it. But it's the medicaid, no matter what i do, or who i contact, I cannot receive. They approved my child but they have not approved me. I thought that, as long as im on federal supplemental security, it should be automatic. I have major health issues, and not having my medicaid, im in serious trouble not being able to get my meds, not being able to take care of the things I need to.
Medicaid says u need to contact dcf. Then dcf says no, u need to contact medicaid…its just been an insane back and forth. Im not sure if dcf denied me because im not going after my ex for child support or they can click deny in their system or what. Im at my wits end and cannot figure out what else to do. If you can help lead me in the rigbt direction, please help!
