homeless disability

How do I get on Medicaid or disability?

My mother has leukemia and friends is now unable to work, but not sick enough to be in the hospital. My friend does what he can, but now can not pay the rent and end up homeless or close some thing. How I can help rescue his mother in Medicaid or disability? Any other suggestions. Thank you.

If your friend or child at home is 18 years old and still in school with the fastest way to get help for his mother would ask TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or whatever call your state program that provides financial assistance to parents with children at home. They may also be eligible for food stamps, which of course will not pay the rent, but with an expenditure of households in general. There are also programs that help with utilities and heat and not can understand the welfare office too. Local agencies may get taken by renting one or two times (the military high ground for a directory for other in the yellow pages under social services agencies and / or call United Way for a list of places to get help) Under the rules of your state can get Medicaid if a child at home or if a medical need or may be necessary to first obtain social security disability. It may request that the office also helps. To apply for safety of people with disabilities go to Him http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ had a volume of time for people with disabilities, but a new program for compassion, which allows faster decisions by the SS for certain diseases. Acute leukemia is one of those.
