I got a letter yesterday from DHS that they will deny Dad as of 12/1/10 due to the fact he has more than $2000 in assets. He has about $4800 in cash value in two small insurance policies. AFTER this is taken and spent (with receipts and verification, etc) then we can RE-APPLY! I'm thinking this whole thing is nuts! I called Chad's office yesterday to ask about this, and they didn't return my call. I'm going by there today on my way to see Mom and Dad. That will be an interesting visit because Michael Smith has also sent me a major dun letter wanting their money! LOL! Anyway, I'll let you know the next step in this oddessy of ours! Haven't gotten Mom's letter---probably will come today or the first of next week. I can't wait to see the reason they're going to NOT pay her bills! Should be interesting! NOT!!!!!!!! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie
