[QUOTE="Steely, post: 440209, member: 3301"] I am completely overwhelmed, and feeling very needy with millions of issues flying through my head . If possible I need some help from my friends in sorting this next 2 months out. I will try to break it out into bullets, so that it doesn't overwhelm you guys (LOL) and you can answer or help on just the points you want to. ***Matt and my Mom found Matt a place to live in Portland. Hopefully, when everything is signed he should be moving at the beginning of August. Currently he does not have any health ins and I am currently trying to get him medicaid thru Arizona. My question is do you think if he gets medicaid in AZ, that it will be easy to transfer it to Oregon's medicaid? Both are funded by the state. Or once I get to Oregon will I have to start all over??? ***I have to also apply for SSDI for Matt. Does it matter what state I do that in, or is it Federal. And, yes, I know it takes forever.
