Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 We didnt get turned down, but they base Hope's checks on Lane's income. So some months she doesnt get a check at all, some months it's very small (like less than $100). But because she gets SSI she also got MA automatically. That coves everything our private insurance doesnt which helps out a lot. If you get denied SSI and your son has a Dx in writing, you might still be able to get MA. It varies by state, but here in PA parents have gone to public assistance with medical bills for thier kids, a copy of the Dx, and the denial letter from SSI and they get MA. Here they also take any medical bills you owe and deduct them from your income, so some people get under the income limit that way.

The person at the desk asked if we knew there were income guidelines. I didn't want to get into it with her but rather go for the interview. Our insurance will not pay for Speech, OT or PT. Right now it's all coming out of pocket and it's killing us. The school district has been good about providing services (speech). But our son needs the additonal day at Mayo clinic and he gets OT and PT there as well. Are there other funding sources people know about? We won't qualify for MA due to income. and .

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 ish Rite does free speech therapy for kids who aren't Kindergarten-age yet. I do not know the contact information but someone on here probably does. SSI is income based and a pain to work with. My daughter has been in it for a couple of years now but we are seeking to get off of it shortly because in the long run, it isn't worth it. You have to be in poverty to qualify so if you want to get ahead in life, you have to make more than they will allow.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 , it may be Medical Assistance you are looking for. Your child will qualify, as he has no income, as long as the disability is medically documented. You'll have some forms to fill out, and need a letter or statement from his treating physicians and therapists. It should cover the speech and OT that's needed, that the school district is not providing. ~k [ ] SSI Question again I wrote a while ago about people's experience getting SSI.
