I need to find out how to apply for full Medicaid for my dad. Any suggestions?

He lives in assisted living now, but his VA pension isn't enough to cover the additional services he's needing now.

Will the AL accept Medicaid as payment? Many AL are private pay. Unless his AL accepts Medicaid waivers.

Its great you are looking ahead. When you say he’s needing additional care at the AL, is your plan to place him in a SNF once Medicaid is approved for LTC?

i would contact your county department of social services, they are the ones who determine eligibility and get benefits started.

First step is to call your State Medicaid office to find out what paperwork is involved. Every State hands their own Medicaid, therefore each State has their own rules and programs.
