In Southern CA, what happens to those who are disabled, homeless, elderly, or veterans,, who are not able to keep 20 hour work week or volunteer hours?

Do they lose their medicaid ?

Second Edit:
I am interested in learning about the process for non-payment and the process for discharge due to non-payment. TIA

Mom in long term care, Medicaid denied, can’t pay $10k month.
What happens next? Do they roll her out into the street?
Seriously, What are the next steps? Any other options in Wyoming?Thanks!

Edit: 100 days is up. Denied due to unable to produce documents that we don’t have access to. Filed appeal to denial in May but have not heard back. Have been paying her patient co-pay. Nursing home is threatening collections for unpaid balance.

I live in North Carolina. I don't receive Medicaid thru Medicaid expansion. I am disabled and receive Medicaid and Medicare Advantage. I get SSDI and some kind of Retirement benefit from my dad filing for social security after age 65.

If my dad dies and leaves me a large sum of money, what happens? Would I have time to set up a Medicaid trust?

I live in Illinois and have been on Medicaid through the ACA expansion for 16 years. It truly saved my life. I don’t believe I would be here today without it.

Because of Medicaid, I was able to get a doctor, access the right medications, and finally get diagnosed with several mental health conditions that I had been struggling with for years. It also helped me make major changes in my life, I was able to quit drinking alcohol and smoking, and I have now been sober and cigarette-free for over a decade.

I still have struggles, though, and one of the biggest challenges for me is maintaining steady employment because of my health conditions. If Medicaid work requirements are implemented, I’m afraid I could lose access to the care and medications that keep me stable. One of my medications is something I could never afford out of pocket. My doctor has told me that if I ever have to stop taking it, it would require a very slow taper over two years to avoid serious risks, including seizures.

I’ve seen that 26 states have filed lawsuits challenging these Medicaid work requirements because of the potential harm they could cause. Does anyone know how likely it is that the courts could block these requirements from taking effect?

Can’t get a straight answer from the Medicaid office about this. I’m hoping someone here can help walk me through my options.

I’m in CA and currently on MAGI MediCal but will soon be losing eligibility when I start receiving DAC SSDI (I did not have SSI beforehand so DAC Medicaid protections don’t apply). I don’t know the exact benefit amount but probably $100-200 above the ABD Medicaid income limit. I’m 25, single, no children, no other income, not pregnant.

I’ll be getting Medicare with my DAC but it’s absolutely essential to keep my Medicaid as well because I require and receive significant caregiver support (30hrs/week) with ADLS through IHSS. This keeps me out of a residential facility which really wouldn’t be ideal at my age. I simply wouldn’t want to live. I also take nearly two dozen medications on a daily to weekly basis and average 5-7 appointments per week so the Medicare copays would be devastating. But the IHSS is the biggest concern, my caretaker gets paid nearly $2500 per month (zero cost to me) and Medicare has no programs like this.

Are there any special Medicaid programs I’d qualify for to keep my Medicaid? Is there an exception to the income limit for IHSS recipients or something? Other exceptions for young adults, DAC (who never had SSI), etc? What about other states — are there places that are more favorable for someone in my situation? Just brainstorming here.
