Applying for SSDI?

[RiRi]

Alyssa- Medicaid coverage does count as health coverage with HIPPA laws so there would not be a gap in coverage. (We will be applying for Mediciad after the next baby is born.)
2perfectboys- Since I will be on maternity leave I will not be making the same income that I was. The social worker at my clinic said to file for Meicaid for both my kids then. That way I can claim my current income which on maternity leave will be a lot less than I am making now. I was told if I can file the paperwork (SSI) during my leave I can count that as my curent income. Not what I would be making when I return to work.
Also I pay around $700 a month now for insurance premiums through my company. So dropping them from coverage would be nice in order to have that extra cash on hand. That income is already counted as gross income so the money going into my pocket instead of paid out to premiums will not effect my gross income.
Hope all this helped. After wrote it it seems very wordy!

Best of luck, I hope u get it, be prepared for a fight. Hope u don't get sick and need insurance. Nothing in life is ever free, if it is I would love to find it.

I would carry myself on an independent plan. Without maternity coverage I can get an ok one for about $150 per month. Myself and none of my family would go without or have a laspe in health ins coverage.

Sounds like a good plan riri about applying while on maternity leave. If that's your plan though, i'd get the paperwork in a few weeks beforehand. It will take them a bit to process it anyways and they can always "re-look" at your income if you are too high intitially but get it in sooner than later for the initial processing period.

I can help with understanding some of the SSA's qualifications for CF if you need that information/assistance. Just email me, division902@hotmail.com

I say apply. Some people have to fight and others get it right away. I did. I had a good social worker at my son's doctors office. We applied Jan 14 and the first week of March we were approved. I made sure the first time I filed that I got a good list of all the doctors, hospitals, and specialist and even the teachers at my sons school. Then I filled out medical release forms for them all. Granted it took a week because he was nine at the time and had been to at least four different hospital, and had seen at least 6+ doctors. My son was not diagnosed till he was nine. We had only know about his cf two months before filing and I did it for medical insurance reasons. The reason for so many doctors was trying to find out why my son was so sick and I changed doctors till I found one to listen to me. So my suggestion is be prepared. Have a list of the doctors and do research on the illness and be prepared as possible and maybe the process for filing ssi for you son may go easy. I will pray the process goes quickly and smothly.
