Children can collect Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits in three ways. These may involve disabled children or children with disabled / retired parents.

You’d think people with disability will get special attention, but it just doesn’t work that way. In fact, according to the SSA itself, denied disability claims have averaged nearly 53 percent or more than half of all the applicants denied. You should not lose hope just yet, though. There are many ways you can improve your chances.

Eligibility for Medicaid: Benefiting Immigrants

According to an Examiner article published November, 2014, U.S. immigrants and their children account for 40% of Medicaid recipients, amounting to $4.6 billion.The figure is mainly attributed to the fact that a significant portion of admitted immigrants are in the low-income group, and could not afford insurance.

Some of this could have been preventable had these facilities started optimizing their revenue cycle management processes.
