填写申请。
RCAL 收到您的申请后，我们大约需要两周时间处理并提交给社会保障局。由于大流行关闭，社会保障申请积压。批准过程需要 6 个月到一年多的时间才能批准。
请尽快联系我们的收款代表办公室。我们并不总是知道您已获得批准。有时您会先于我们收到通知。一旦 RCAL 收到您的批准通知并收到第一笔付款，我们就需要预约来制定预算。在此预约期间，您需要通知我们您的所有账单。请参阅常见问题解答的预算会议部分
如果我们不知道您的账单存在，RCAL 将无法支付您的账单。您需要列出每月需要支付的所有账单。例如租金、汽车贷款、保险、有线电视、手机账单等。账单副本非常有用。
如果您希望我们与其他人交谈，我们将很乐意这样做。您必须下载表格（代表收款人信息共享）。该表格需要在我们的办公室填写、签署，以便我们能够与某人交谈。欢迎您选择一位家庭成员、一位值得信赖的朋友或邻居、一位顾问或一位服务协调员作为您的选定人员。但请注意，您只能选择一个人。所有其他人将不会得到回应。您和选定的人员有责任与团队中的任何其他成员共享信息。
我们重视您的隐私以及您对受保护信息的权利。如果您希望我们与其他人交谈，我们将很乐意这样做。我们每天收到数百封通信。

确定何时支付账单取决于账单：
-每月5号付房租
-水电费和手机费每周支付
-PNA 每周一发布
我们当然会在到期时支付账单！
如果您的账单已发送给您，然后您将其放置几天，然后再将其邮寄给我们，那么当我们收到并处理它们时，它们很可能会延迟付款。您可以采取以下几项措施来帮助我们为您提供帮助：
-联系您的帐单并更改地址，以便直接联系 RCAL。这将减少延迟时间，并且这样做的人总是能及时付款。
-RCAL - 注意：您的名字，737 Ulster Ave, Kinston, NY 12401
-授权 RCAL 员工通过电话进行电子支付
-使用电缆设置在线帐户并向我们提供用户名和密码
几个月后，我们可以尝试一下。一旦我们建立了关系，如果您想增加您的 PNA 并承担一两个账单，我们可以尝试几个月，看看效果如何。这将是迈向独立的一大步，我们一直鼓励这样做。
如果账单直接发送至 RCAL，您无需要求我们付款。
如果是每月相同的定期账单，一旦设置，您无需要求我们支付。
一旦设置完毕，您不必要求支付租金。
如果您有一次性账单需要支付，请至少在到期日10天前向我们提交一份账单副本（电子版即可）。
无论对你来说最简单的是什么！
欢迎您参加、召开虚拟 Zoom 会议或召开电话会议。
如果您是由 Dutchess DSS 推荐的，我们可以在他们的办公室见面。
-您的租约或租赁协议的副本
-您最新的电费账单、任何其他公用事业费、电话费、汽车贷款、保险、有线电视费、信用卡等的副本。您每月支付且需要我们付款的任何费用。
-任何未偿还贷款
-保险账单（医疗、汽车、人寿）
-工资单
有些月份有 5 周，有些则没有。以五周为周期付款可确保您始终获得个人需求津贴，无论该月有多少周。在没有 5 周的月份中，您的资金会被保留，为紧急情况、假期、生日或您有足够资金的任何特殊购买提供资金储备。
有很多可能的答案：
-如果没有任何变化并且您通过邮件收到了 PNA，则说明邮件发生了延误。至少等待 10 天后再致电。
-如果本月您有太多意外支出，则可能会耗尽您的资金。
-如果您最近通过有线电视租借了电影，那么您可能已经用完了您的 PNA。
请随时提交联系表格并提出问题。
您的 PNA 在预算会议期间确定。希望您能参加这次会议。在这次会议期间，我们会计算您的月收入，减去您的月账单，然后将剩下的除以 5。
如果您的每月账单发生变化或租金减少，您的 PNA 可能会发生变化。要求召开新的预算会议来讨论这一问题。
如果您设置了自动存款，我们会在周一将所有支票邮寄至您的银行并发放资金。
绝对是！我们强烈推荐它。随着邮局的延误越来越多，它确实可以加快您收到资金的速度。我们遇到了长达 10 天的邮件延迟。支票或存款于周一发放。根据您的银行，ACH（自动存款）将在周二或周三到达您手中。在我们的表单页面上填写适当的表单。
我们鼓励您使用直接存款方式存入您的 PNA (ACH)。通过使用直接存款，您的资金将直接存入银行，您不必担心支票被发送到哪里。
Anyone in a nursing home setting who wants to work on returning to the community can apply. There is no age requirement.
Nursing home residents, family members, advocates, and nursing home staff can make referrals for this program.
The Open Doors Peer Program matches caring peers with people who want to leave a nursing home. Many peers have lived in a nursing home at one time and have personal experience with the transition process. Over time, the individual and the peer will identify the resources that are right for the individual and available in their community. They will meet with the individual on their schedule and will work with them throughout the entire transition process.
The Olmstead Subsidy Housing Program was put in place to help find the participants appropriate housing so that they can safely return to living in the community.
The Medicaid Waiver Program allows the state to choose groups of people with needs and health conditions to receive tailor-made healthcare options at home or within the community. They provide waivers for care relating to developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, AIDS, and substance use disorders. Waiver services provide more oversight and supervision as well as service coordination. A waiver program allows the state to waive some requirements to meet the needs of individuals. For example, a waiver may help those more likely to need long-term care. Under the HCBS (Home and Community-Based Services) program, states can also offer a variety of non-medical services like case management, homemaker services, respite care, personal care, and adult day care. The waiver may also include any other services that help individuals maintain as much independence as possible.
MMC (Medicaid Managed Care) or MLTC (Medicaid Long Term Care) are Medicaid plans for eligible children and adults with low income. They provide low-cost healthcare, who will have access to a comprehensive range of preventative, primary, specialty, ancillary, and inpatient services.
NYIA (New York Independent Assessor) Assessment is an assessment program established for NYS Medicaid recipients who want to receive personal care and/or CDPAS and other community-based long-term services and supports.
The Good Neighbor Program (GN) is a component of the Open Doors program which was designed to assist people who do not have the informal supports such as the family and friends they need to leave a nursing home. GN can fill crucial gaps in an individual’s support network, but they cannot replace a home health aide or personal care aide in an emergency.
The Open Doors Food Card program was put into place for participants who are discharged from a nursing home setting to buy food and toiletries until their SNAP benefits are approved. SNAP approval can take up to 30 days and this helps to bridge the gap.
There are not any requirements for applying for an OD Food Card. The individual has to be discharging from a nursing home and planning to apply for SNAP Benefits from the Department of Social Services.
Health Home Referrals are referrals made for an individual going home who would like some support and help with services. A "Health Home" is not a place; it is a group of health care and service providers working together to make sure you get the care and services you need to stay healthy. Once you are enrolled in a Health Home, you will have your own care manager.
Please be sure to give notice when requesting an advocate. Although we are trying our best, our office is short-staffed and will unfortunately not be able to accommodate all cases, especially those that are requested last minute.

为确保社会保障收到您的资金并可用，租金将于当月 5 日支付。
请尽快通知我们。
-如果您没有补贴，我们需要与房东签订新协议。
-如果您的补贴发生变化，我们需要您的资金来源提供文件。
这不是问题。 使用此表单。让您的房东与您一起填写并提交给我们。
绝对是！请参阅我们的表格页面的房东部分并选择您所在县的表格。将其连同您的信息和帐号一起提交给我们，我们将为您设置 ACH 存款。

The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is a state-run program that is designed to give you temporary supplementary disability assistance. Social Security Disability (SSD) is a federal, non-temporary supplementary program. To qualify for SSD, your disability should be expected to last for more than one year.
Medicaid is an entitlement program that covers medical expenses if you financially qualify. Medicare is a program in which to qualify you must be 65+ years old or have received 24 payments of SSD. Medicare typically only covers 80% of medical bills unless you have a supplemental or advantage plan.
Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI) is an entitlement program where the individual receiving services must qualify as medically disabled, own less than $2,000 in assets (home and car are exempt from the asset calculation), and have little to no income. Social Security Disability (SSD) is an insurance program that is tied to payroll taxes. You must be medically disabled to qualify. Financial qualifications are based on working credits within the last 60 months. SSD is strictly determined by your ability to work, not your assets or unearned income.
You must fill out an online application, survey, and follow-up paperwork promptly. Social Security will then wait for your medical information to be sent by your doctor. You may be asked to complete an independent medical exam or for additional follow-up information. It is highly recommended that you work with a benefits advisor throughout the application process to answer your questions appropriately.
Adjudication is the approval process of being declared disabled. This process is done by the Office of Temporary Disability Assistance (OTDA) in New York State.
The Medicare Savings Plan (MSP) is a program for those who do not qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford Medicare. Learn more about the financial qualifications here.
The process takes 6 months to 1 year to complete in its entirety. If an appeal is filed, the appeal may take up to 3 years. Please note that Social Security is over 1 million cases behind.
Receiving benefits advisement from an RCAL advisor is free of cost while receiving services from an outside disability advocate or attorney requires you to pay out of pocket. Please note that our benefits advisors are certified by the Cornell Cooperative Extension and are authorized to represent you during Social Security Hearings in New York State.
A person under the age of 18 may be eligible based on the financial qualifications of the parent and/or the type of disability. A child with a developmental disability may be eligible for a waiver which removes the parents' finances from the application. This would be for SSI purposes only. A child may be eligible for SSD under certain conditions as well. Please inquire with an advocate for clarity about your specific circumstances.
Eligibility is dependent on your medical condition, how your medical condition impacts your ability to work, and either your working credits or your financial qualification.
No, this is not true. Many factors in SSA decide who receives approval and who does not.
It is extremely important that you put a lot of honest thought and effort into your application. Answer questions based on your worst day. Respond promptly to follow-up questions (it is the hurry-up-and-wait game!). Work with a benefits advisor to make the process smoother and more clarified.
We can help you with Section 8 Housing application and Recertification forms, Representative Payee applications, SNAP temporary assistance, and other forms required by DSS, and navigating and understanding the rules for if you decide to return to work.
