How do i get my aunt on medicaid?

Answer 1

Take your aunt to your local Department of Social Services, make sure she takes her ID, social security card, checking account statement, birth certificate, list of medicines she's on, and medical bills. Have her see an intake specialist, they will get her signed up immediately. Word of advice, make sure she doesn't have too much money in her bank account. If you take most of the needed documentation I've suggested, plus any other vital piece of information you can think of, it will speed up the process of getting her signed on. Show the paperwork to the intake officer as they ask for it, they sometimes get pissy when you overwhelm them--I guess their job gets to them.

If you don't have any of these available you can still take her to sign up, they'll just give you a list of the paperwork you need to bring back on your next visit, so take as much as you can.

Be ready for a long wait so take some snacks and some coins for the vending machine.

Answer 2

It varies from state to state but a safe bet would be to go to or call your local Department of Social Services (DSS). DSS will help begin the process of filling out paperwork or point you in the right direction. Another place to try is the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA offices are not as local but they are in the phone book under the Government listings. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Call the Welfare office and talk with someone there. Your aunt might need to talk with someone too. They can get her signed up. You are nice to be helping her.

Answer 4

Visit the SSI website. You will find all the information you need. It is very helpful and most things you can apply for on-line
