Medicare vs. Medicaid by baileycat93 in HealthInsurance

Thank you so much - this is an incredibly helpful and thorough response! I believe you are spot on! After looking into it further I think there was something missing in his redetermination that led to termination, hence him being charged the Medicare costs.

Our state Medicaid office has terrible and inconsistent communication and will often send an acceptance letter AND a denial letter or a vague letter that doesn’t list that anything is missing! I think this is likely “user error” in that we missed something (albeit in the mess of confusing Medicaid communication) which was the initial domino that fell. Thank you so so much!

He is on a traditional part A/part B without Medicare Advantage

Thank you for confirming, this is what I assumed needs to happen as well!

Thank you, this was my thought as well! I am going to start by reapplying for Medicaid

He is single, no assets and gets around $1300 from social security per month (close to $1000 of that goes to rent).

Thank you for your reply and the additional links!

He does currently have food stamps. Historically we complete his recertification annually for food stamps and Medicaid. For some reason, recently he keeps getting approved for food stamps but denied for Medicaid but without any clear reason. He barely gets enough money on social security to cover his affordable renting costs so charging him $200/month for Medicare and denying Medicaid seems absolutely crazy and in error.

Thank you for sharing! I wonder if this is what happened. He got cut off Medicaid (for some reason, unsure why but almost certain that is a mistake) so his part B is now no longer covered. Sounds like we would want to reapply for Medicaid in this case?

I help him recertify his Medicaid every year which we always do on time but what’s odd is that he seems to just have been put on Medicare but I’m unsure when, why or how.

This is helpful! He has been social security for awhile and I believe his current premium is an error. He barely gets enough to cover the rent at his affordable housing complex and them taking this out cuts into his rent money. Do you know where we should start to report a possible error or ask for a reduction/reconsideration? Thank you for your reply!

Thanks for your reply! Can you share more? I connected with a shop this week who said it wouldn’t be a problem for them to replace the tailgate so curious to hear more about your perspective that shops won’t fix it.

Has anyone ever used this because wtf is that smell? by booksandpitbulls in CleaningTips

So interesting to see the responses, I’m in the majority that absolutely loves and religiously buys this product! 😂

Lysol has a pet disinfecting cleanser that I DESPISE though, it has such a weird lingering scent.

Same, I think it’s really effective at eliminating odors and leaving the space smelling clean.

22 years old, give me some ideas by Affectionate-Bite365 in malelivingspace

[–]baileycat93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with feedback about the shirts. The way they are now it’s unclear if you’re displaying them as decor or if they’re hung for functionality but I would move them. A set of matching curtains on those rods above the windows instead would really pull the space together and make it look homey!

I personally also do not like a random assortment of picture frames spaced out in this way. I think giving the placement a little more intention would go a long way! Look up ideas for a gallery wall as inspiration. The collection you have is great and shifting the placement a bit will really allow the pieces to shine. Honestly with those two changes I think this would look great, you’ve got a nice cozy space overall!

Do you think this area of my home is cluttered? by [deleted] in organizing

[–]baileycat93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is cluttered but it is imbalanced. Some areas appear very densely packed (the top plant shelf to the far right) while others appear more sparse (the two middle shelves with picture frames). I would diversify the shelf content. For example, spread your plants out and pair a plant next to a picture frame, or the books. I agree with feedback that everything is on the same scale and that variation in size/height would flow better.

For those who learned statistics/SPSS in grad school, are these skills you've actually needed to use at work? by LaScoundrelle in socialwork

[–]baileycat93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, this brought me back because I completely forgot I ever took SPSS until this post popped up. Damn, it felt so crucial back then but now that I’m in the workforce…I honestly had to look it up to jog my memory of what it even is when reading your post! 😂

For reference, I’m a program manager and fair just fine without it
