By skyforbes My wife and I are about to have our first baby in a few months. We decided to apply for Medicaid to alleviate some of the weight from the medical bills along with the future doctor appointments for the baby. She started her paperwork back in June, but she has received 2 letters saying “has not shown that they are either a citizen or a non-citizen who is qualified to receive benefits.” My wife called the customer service rep and they advised all the documents submitted were correct and advised her to try reapplying. My wife was born her along with her parents, during the application it kept making her use a Spanish form, and she sent in her DL, BC, and SS. One of the letters mentions requesting a hearing and she will be requesting an appeal.
Questions: Has anyone experienced this before? If you have appealed one of their decisions how long did the process take? If we appeal and lose what would be the next best course of action obtain some type of Medicaid for our daughter?
TDLR: US born citizen denied Medicaid for not having correct citizenship documents, and confused on how to address situation.
