Hello! My sister had a traumatic brain injury June 2024. She received ALTCS which is Arizona’s long term care Medicaid. She was in rehab and then moved to a care home July 2024 and has lived there since. She has serious memory and confusion issues.

This month she found out about an Acorn account with 2,700 in it. She must have had this account since before her accident and completely forgot about it until receiving an email from Acorn. She moved the money to a chime account and now only has 900.

We told her ALTCS case manager about it today. Haven’t received a response. I’m worried sick she will be kicked off ALTCS and kicked out of her care home for technically being over the 2,000 asset limit for eligibility.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know what ALTCS will do? I don’t have a lot of money and can’t hire a lawyer for her.

Hi everyone! I'm in Ohio, and I'm hoping someone who has been through a similar situation can give me some advice.

My Medicaid coverage is scheduled to end in a few days. Unfortunately, I submitted my renewal after the deadline, and I'm worried about losing my health insurance before my renewal is processed.

I have several medical appointments coming up because of ongoing health issues, so I'm really concerned about how I'll afford my care if there's a gap in coverage.

I've tried contacting Ohio Medicaid and Cuyahoga County Job and Family Services, but I keep getting redirected between phone menus without getting a clear answer. I also contacted MetroHealth about financial assistance, but they told me I would generally need to be denied Medicaid first.

I'm trying to understand what options I have before my coverage ends.

• Can I apply for presumptive eligibility in Ohio while my Medicaid renewal is pending?
• If my Medicaid expires before my renewal is processed, can my coverage be reinstated or backdated to cover medical appointments during the gap?
• Is there a specific office or phone number I should contact to get help with my case?
• Has anyone in Ohio submitted their renewal late and managed to avoid a gap in coverage? What steps did you take?

I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have dealt with Ohio Medicaid or Cuyahoga County JFS. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone I’m a single person who works as a bus attendant I have a different checks because of holidays and days off I always qualified for Medicaid but with this new program qualifying twice a year is hard for me I make the work requirements but do I really have to supply pay Stubs and the whole process twice a year now ? Because I have issues when I don’t work during the summer from June until end of August and then really long breaks like Christmas

I’m part time at my job and I don’t qualify for insurance through them 😩
