A) Hi! I understand your concern. Here are the steps you need to take when you move to Cape Coral, Florida from Kentucky with your 8-year-old grandson who is under your guardianship and is currently covered by Kentucky Medicaid:

  1. Notify your current Medicaid provider. You need to notify your current Medicaid provider of your move at least 30 days before you move. You can do this by phone, mail, or in person.
  2. Apply for Medicaid in Florida. Once you have notified your current Medicaid provider, you need to apply for Medicaid in Florida. You can do this online, by mail, or in person.
  3. Provide proof of your move. When you apply for Medicaid in Florida, you will need to provide proof of your move. This can be done by providing a copy of your lease agreement, a utility bill, or a letter from your landlord.
  4. Provide proof of your income. You will also need to provide proof of your income when you apply for Medicaid in Florida. This can be done by providing a copy of your tax return, a pay stub, or a letter from your employer.
  5. Provide proof of your residency. Finally, you will need to provide proof of your residency in Florida when you apply for Medicaid. This can be done by providing a copy of your driver’s license, a voter registration card, or a utility bill.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to get Medicaid coverage for you and your grandson in Florida.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • The income eligibility limits for Medicaid in Florida are different than the income eligibility limits in Kentucky. You can find more information about the income eligibility limits for Medicaid in Florida on the Florida Department of Children and Families website.
  • You may have to meet certain work requirements to qualify for Medicaid in Florida. You can find more information about the work requirements for Medicaid in Florida on the Florida Department of Children and Families website.
  • You must report any changes in your income or household size to your Medicaid provider. You can do this by phone, mail, or in person.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
