Thanks for this! Yes, take advantage of any available programs. We were told to even apply even if you don't meet the criteria. It's better to apply and get a "no" then to not apply at all. Our social worker was knowledgable on IL programs, but not much on any in IN, so we had to do a lot of digging ourselves, even though the hospital is near the IL-IN border. Only when my wife joined an FB group did we find out about the Katie Beckett program. We were in the process of applying the for the IN A&D Waiver, as it's not income-based (well kinda). Apparently being approved for the A&D Waiver makes it "easier" to get approved for Medicaid as it shows a disability, in addition to other benefits. I think we waited a month for the interview, during the interview I mentioned my child was a very sick newborn, but the interviewer still had to ask whether my child was anxious or depressed, lived a fulfilling life, etc. I think I broke down afterwards. We were still waiting for the response when she passed away, actually, I think we're still waiting for it? It wasn't a fun experience. I understand the need for the questions, but I wish there was the questions were catered to the age of the applicant.
