One- Ohio switched from the waiver to Passport program. Passport doesn't pay me enough to continue to miss work for doctor appointments, feeding, cleaning, prescription pickup etc. Two - a pension buy out that I was not aware of has been sent to me for my sister. It is 20,000 before tax. Can I legally except this and pay for funeral, clothing, housing, food etc.? She is on Medicare/Medicaid. I have made numerous calls and cannot get a straight answer. I'm in Ohio. Thanks
With all States having their own rules, regulations, and programs, it is hard for us here on this website to keep track. Programs are always changing depending on State budgets.
You might also try calling the county or state to see if there's a specific agency that helps the disabled or seniors....not the Medicaid or Passport issues but one which addresses people in need more generally.
Wish I could offer more suggestions but this is all I can think of now.
