Need to verify my case status in Kentucky.
Q) My name is Bridget I was receiving assistance in under my husband Donald I moved back to Huntington, Indiana on April 10, 2019. Donald has not received benefits for either of us since February 2019. Donald called and requested that a verification letter stating that I am no longer receiving benefits in Kentucky and when my benefits ended in Kentucky be sent to IN. I still have not received the letter. Donald called last week to find out if and when the letter was sent. He was informed that the letter was sent out on April 22, 2019. My deadline for turning this in to the County was May 1, 2019. I take various medication on a daily basis, some that treat mental disorders. Without these medications I will experience manic psychotic episodes along with withdrawal symptoms. I have contacted my local Social Service office to make them aware of the situation. They made a note in my account and said they would give me a little more time to get the letter turned in. I only have six days left of medicine. I can’t get in to see my psychologist or family physician until this letter gets turned in and my insurance here can be verified as active. Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.
My local Huntington County office has tried twice to call yo verify my case status in Kentucky that would be the fastest way for my benefits in Indiana to be activated. I appreciate any assistance that you may be able to give. Thank you, Bridget
A) I’m sorry to hear about the situation you are facing. However, please note that I do not represent any government agency. Therefore, I am unable to check the status of your case or provide direct assistance with your Medicaid benefits.
It is recommended that you try calling the Kentucky Medicaid office directly to follow up on the verification letter. You can also ask if they can provide you with a temporary verification letter or proof of coverage to use while waiting for the official letter to arrive. Additionally, you may want to speak with a caseworker or supervisor at the local Social Service office in Indiana to explain the situation and see if they can offer any additional assistance or resources to help you obtain your medications.

I have applied for medical & food stamp assistance. I have two young kids & a pregnant girlfriend. I was told it would take 7 to 10 days to get my food stamp card in the mail. Here it is over a month later, & I haven’t received anything!! I have turned in all the paper work that was requested! Why have I not got any word of any kind regarding my benefits? I’m unemployed with no money in the bank, I could really use some help!!! Thank you!
Stay in touch with your caseworker if you feel your application is taking too long or you aren’t getting communication from him or her. However, if you weren’t alerted by your caseworker that you needed to turn in further verification of your circumstances, the fault lies with him or her. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service specifically outlines how long an application should take to be reviewed but, unfortunately, it isn’t always so simple. Are you sure you completed the application? This isn’t easy, as caseworkers may not return phone calls. Did you turn in all necessary paperwork? If no one is contacting you, go to the office and request a hearing, either by filling out hearing paperwork or just by writing “I request a hearing” and your signature on a piece of paper and turning it in to the office. Sometimes going through the food stamp application process turns into a long waiting game. If this happens, contact your caseworker’s supervisor, and if that doesn’t work, contact the supervisor’s supervisor. In addition to this, every application is supposed to be screened immediately to see whether or not the applicant is eligible for “expedited” services, or emergency help. A hearing officer who has nothing to do with your case will listen to both sides and make a fair decision If the applicant is eligible, the case must be approved within seven days and benefits disbursed in the same time frame. Your case can remain “pending,” or undecided, for much longer than it should. If the decision on your food stamp application is still pending and it’s been longer than 30 days since you applied, someone is at fault. Your case should be decided within 30 days of applying. A lack of complete information could be a reason for the delay. Always stay in touch with your caseworker to make sure he or she has all the information needed and to find out why your case is being delayed.
