At 76 your Mom gets Social Security, maybe a pension? 7 Is she over the monthly income level? Does she have more in the bank then the asset level allowed? My state allows you to spend down within 90days from Date of application. It was mentioned on the forum some States may require the person to be spent down before application. Who helped you with the application, a Social Worker? Was all info needed given to Medicaid in a timely manner? Was it given at all? My State allows 90 days for all info need to be sent.

From your profile you Mom is 24/7 care with Dementia. This should get her into LTC. Once u find out the reason for thecdenial, call the caseworker on the denial and ask what you need to do saying that you cannot care for her.

Can you qualify for Medicaid because of medical issues alone? A 67-year-old has dementia. He is over the threshold by $177.22 @ Medicaid monthly income and has zero after paying his bills every month.
