I am Mom's POA and applied for Medicaid to pay for her care in a nursing home. It's been over two months and the only answer I have is the Caseworker's statement that she is eligible back to October, 2017. Besides trying to get her approved I also need to know is the $450 of her income that I put in her QIT to make her eligible for Medicaid, also make her eligible for Medicare Extra Help for her prescriptions. No agency has been able to answer this for me and I am terribly frustrated. I can't pay her patient liability for January if I pay her prescriptions. The application for Medicaid stated that the state of Ohio had 45 days to approve or deny and we're long past that. Cindy
