Social Security meeting today-update

Just a quick note...If you see this post before 2:05 pacific standard time, please say a prayer! I have a meeting with the new SSI caseworker to see if we can get Caitlyn's benefits reinstated. If the meeting ends on a positive note, she should be fully insured by August 1! This will mean pull-ups payed for again, being able to get her therapy outside of school, no co-pays on meds or doctors appointments, no premiums, medicaid personal care hours, and a little bit of money. The money isn't as important to us as all of the other benefits. I will update later today or tomorrow morning with how things went.

Another benefit of moving...A new SSI caseworker. And she is much nicer than the old one! We got in with one day to spare...had we not been in until tomorrow, we would have had to start the whole application process over. So, we were approved!!! We qualified for the month of June and for July, but not for August. Every month that has 5 Friday's we wont get a check, but we should still get insurance, and that is by far more important! The funniest thing with this switch in caseworkers...Back to May of 2006, nothing has been verified on our account. Our last check was in July of 2007. Everything was just estimated. So, the gal said she is going to go through and verify everything. (poor thing...2 years worth of pay stubs she has to go through!) If it comes out that there were months in there we could have gotten money and didn't (I know there are a few) or didn't get what we could have, we will get more...also is true that if they gave us too much at any point, we will owe. Let's hope the first is true!!! Yippy for health insurance!!!
