You are in my prayers! My aunt is on Medicaid and ran into a similar problem. She didn't owe any money but they initially refused to pay for some expenses. My father (her legal guardian) had to go in person and meet with them. He was persistent and he ended up winning. The key is patience, persistence and, like your gram said, fairness. She hit it right on the head--always make them see your loved one as a person! Stay strong and keep fighting. You are in my prayers! My aunt is on Medicaid and ran into a similar problem.

If you need someone to ask questions of or bounce things around, I can put the two of you in touch and see what happens......let me know. Tanya,

You do know that one of my best friends (in the whole world) is an administrative law clerk to the Social Security Administration in Western New York, right? If you need someone to ask questions of or bounce things around, I can put the two of you in touch and see what happens……let me know.

I still cannot believe the absurdity of even looking back through records that are that old seeking places to get reimbursed. I thought the people at SSA were all over-worked enough with their current cases. I just read this to my husband and he said, “Not all heroes wear uniforms.”

The whole matter is so absurd. They will waste more in time and attention to the issue than they would recover anyhow. I admire your courage (as well as your Gram’s), and I wish you all the best.

Our nine year old is autistic so we know exactly what you (will) have to go through. It is ALWAYS a fight. As if these are the people somehow abusing the system... tsk! If there were so diligent with the people actually abusing the system(s), they would leave people with developmental disabilities alone. Your Gram and Eunice Shriver are lookin' down on you and will be the angels on your shoulders. GoodonyaTanya! :) The best of luck to you.
