Quick post---Maggie is here sick with me today. LOL! It's a good thing she's sick because my house couldn't stand her if she was any more well! LOL! Anyway, I talked to Faith Elrod (DHS) this morning to tell her to call Chad with the conference. She said that Dad wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid as long as the GenAM thing was out. (I called GenAm, too, and the check is supposedly in the mail---sent yesterday---I will believe that one when I see the check) I casually asked her about Mom. Well, the application is in Little Rock, I'm guessing from her comments. She asked about keeping AARP---since we were private pay. I told her then yes to AARP. She said that once it comes back something with the Employer's annuity we did and they straighten out the penalty then they'll know more---like the penalty was in our future---not our past!!!!!!!! I called Beth and talked to her about what she said. She said that Chad had been dealing with the date---remember earlier DHS wanted to start the penalty from the date of application----which would mean we'd have 7 months from Oct 1 for EACH of them! I told Beth that that wouldn't be a penalty---that would have taken every cent they had + the amount they'd given us + some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, it's still a long way from being nearly even remotely settled!!!!!!! I'll keep you posted. Love you all, Jeanie
