Tring to receive Medicaid for my Nephew who is Special Needs who is coming from Ct.

He has been declined but the same benefit in Ct. would like some guidance in this matter.

It sounds like the two states have different Medicaid eligibility requirements. Medicaid is a Government program that is operated by the states.

What is the problem or question? I would start by filling out the Florida application. http://palmbeach.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/clinical-and-nutrition-services/registration-forms-clinic-services/_documents/medicaid-application-english.pdf Maybe before you do that call and see if there is a transfer process. Start here Common ACCESS Florida Forms, Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency (ACCESS) - Florida Department of Children and Families (https://www.myflfamilies.com/service-programs/access/common-access-florida-forms.shtml)

After he is a Florida resident go to ssa.gov and look up contact info for florida medicaid, download application documents, if you want to communicate with Medicaid for him , he has to sign a authorization of representative for you to handle his affairs. Be prepared for a lot of time on the phone. There is no instruction book for this. Good luck!

I saw a lawyer's sign on a strip mall on 441 between the villages and Leesburg that social security disability help, I am sorry I did not catch a name or specific location, but you may be able to find with an internet search.
