By skyforbes Has anyone ever run into the issue where you have someone refusing to release bank statements that Medicaid requires to deem financial eligibility?
My fathers application was denied because Medicaid saw that his gf who he lives with and shares a joint bank account with, transferred over $8k from his bank account into her personal paypal account. From their point of view this looks like he was hiding assets.
Ive tried to explaining to them that he is cognitively impaired (brain hemorrhage in 2023.)The man isnt even aware that he had his own bank account at one point, shares a joint account with her currently, or receives social security. He did not authorize these transactions, as he was still in rehab recovering when she did this.
But they have insisted that I get the gf to release her paypal statements explaining where the money went. When I asked her she had a bunch of excuses, and could only provide me proof of a very small portion. Ive asked her numerous times to just explain what she did with the money, and/or provide the paypal statements so that there is a paper trail and my father can get approved. She keeps delaying, ignoring me, deflecting…just not cooperating.
What can I do to convince Medicaid that she baaically stole from him and he meets the income threshold?
