Serious New Post Flair: Serious

29 Upvotes

Hey, y'all! There is a new Post Flair - [Serious]. It is intended for:

  • Posts where OP wants real answers/discussion.
  • Posts where the topic is about something where jokes and off-topic comments would be inappropriate - such as damage to property from an accident, loss of life due to a storm, or an illness of an individual.

The Serious flair can be chosen by the OP, or applied by the mods if the topic warrants it.

Comments that are not adhering to the Serious flair should be reported.

Also, rules have been updated for streamlining - no changes, just condensing/combining of similar ones.

Advice Mentally Disabled Adult child- Question about waivers

18 Upvotes

My 22 year old has been developmentally disabled, along with autism, her entire life. She currently receives SSI and Medicaid.

For those who have signed up for the Medicaid waivers, how long did it take to be approved? Months? Years? Is it true that the state is making it harder for those who truly need the services not be eligible or get kicked off Medicaid?

Also, CWP counties, day programs are not covered with the waiver? Parents are paying out of pocket?!

I’m so frustrated and have called different agencies with different answers.

Help!!

Economy/Business Has anyone else had issues with dealerships?

65 Upvotes

Bought a car about 3 months ago made payments on time and everything seemed good. I get a phone call from the dealership and they need to see me, I am curious. The loan went thru and I am all lined up to pay the car off in a few years. I honestly do not want to deal with these people, they played games like not returning my license when asked, and trying to apply pressure tactics;

The reason I put up with it is because my wife wanted this particular car.

So I call them and ask them directly why do you want me to come in. It is kind of a drive to the dealership. There is something wrong with the loan? The car itself? Well after speaking to not only the salesman, his manger, the sales director and the credit person and then the finance department head. I get the answer. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TITLE. I have been paying on a car that they did not have the title to sell?

Not really sure how that happened and honestly do not care. How do I handle this? Extra points given if I can make this as painful as possible for this dealership.
