I am presently living with my daughter in Nevada. I hope to move back to Illinois (my home state) during the next year.
I am 63, income is 989.00 a month thru my husbands widows pension.
I am on a state social service program here for low income people.

What and how can I get medical care and help when I return to Illinois.

This is very important to me in making my decision to returning “home”.

I need help for getting a discription on what a medicaid card in Illinois looks like. I work with seniors over the phone to improve their health care benefits, and need to be able to prove exactly what they have, so i can narrow down the types of programs that would be beneficial to them. THANK YOU in advance and if there is anyone that can give me a discription for any other states, that would be really helpful.

directed to rod cooley: you have to be on medicaid for two years when it will automatically go to medicare if you are on social security disability. When you do get medicate ask at your local Dept of Human Services for Qualified Medicare Beneficiary form.
This will pay for your premiums; you should then receive a card covering you under medicare and medicaid from the state. If the idiots in Dept. of Human Services gives you their usual blank stare contact Social Security for the form.
Directed to Tracey: Contact Social Security direct; then make a copy of the paperwork is sent directly to the Illinois Dept. of Human Services in Spring field, Illinois, the politicians give jobs to idiots in the local levels who don’t know or want to know anything about how to assit you

My mother has tried to get Medicaid two different times and had two hearings, but Lawrence County’s health department either denies getting her paperwork from her physicians or does’t get her paperwork to the state level. There should be some way to counter this incompetence at the county level.
