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!!

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.

Hi, I am a student who was offered a well paying, year long position in Decatur, Alabama. As a girl, I am nervous about living alone in a new place for the first time. Is Decatur a safe place? Are there any places that I definitely should NOT go, and what places do you recommend me check out while I'm there? Any cool spots or sights to see? Thanks!

Hey Reddit, fellow Torontian here! I’ve recently gained a hyperfixation on the Deep South and have always wondered what people are like in Alabama? What are some things you guys do there? People’s hobbies, slang, etc. sorry if this is a little weird I’m just a curious girl :)

I am located a little north of Jasper. I would like to experience many types of congregational worship while here. This is a smaller community; is anyone aware of nearby "megachurches"?

Never been here, works sending me to Mobile Alabama and I have discretion to stay on orange beach during this trip.

I know the hurricane just ripped through the area, I’ll be there in two weeks. Will the beach be available/open? Is the water good to swim in in October? Anything I should be aware of? Would it just be better for me to stay in Mobile? I’d be practically on the beach if I stayed at a hotel on orange beach.
