A couple MiCAP success stories for you…
I recently heard back from my two clients who I worked with on MiCAP applications. Both met the qualification criteria (only SSI, independent living, etc). I educated both clients about the program and what is involved with the application process. They both decided to apply, completed the applications on their own, and contacted their local DHS worker to have their cases closed. Both applications were faxed into the MiCAP office in Lansing and in a little over two weeks, both clients received letters stating that they had been approved for the program and would be receiving $171 on their Bridge card starting in April.
One client was only receiving $16/mo and was overjoyed that she has now been approved for $171 a month. This client told me that she previously was getting some juice and water each month…she was speechless when she thought about what she could now buy each month.
I am educating my clients on the potential hiccups/risks associated with applying for the program, but am finding that most people are interested in applying. I just wanted to give you an update on what my experience with the program has been thus far. Hope you are having a good week!
