By skyforbes My best friend and her boyfriend live together with their 1 year old here in Texas. Their 1 year old was born severely premature and has had a host of health issues, including still using a G-Tube for the vast majority of feedings.
She recently received a letter saying her daughter is being denied due to her and boyfriend’s combined income being too much. They are over the limit but it’s not by a crazy amount. They are barely scraping by so they appealed the decision and have the hearing coming up next week!
The reason for denial is appropriate, but given their circumstances they believe there is significant hardship if they did NOT have Medicaid.
Any advice for the hearing? It is in 7 days.
Their disabled son has A TON of doctors. If appeal is denied at the hearing, what is best next step with Medicaid (further appeal or should she try ACA, private, etc.)?
