Katie Beckett FAQs

We know you have many questions about how this program works. Here are short, clear answers to help you understand the process and how we can support your family.

Who is eligible for the Katie Beckett program in Georgia?

The program is for children under age 18 with significant disabilities or chronic medical needs. It allows the state to look at the child's own income rather than the parents' income to qualify for Medicaid support.

How long does the application process usually take?

From the time you submit a complete packet, it typically takes 90 to 120 days for a decision. Being organized and submitting all medical documentation at once can help prevent unnecessary delays.

What happens if our application is denied?

If you receive a denial, you have the right to file an appeal. Many families find that a denial is simply due to missing information or unclear medical records rather than a lack of eligibility. Our consulting services provide support, organization and guidance to reduce denial chances; however, the approval decisions are determined solely by the appropriate state agencies and eligibility program.

When is the best time to start the application?

You should start as soon as you realize your child needs more support than private insurance provides. Gathering the right documentation takes time, so earlier is always better to secure your child's care.

How does consulting support help my family?

Differently Abled provides personalized guidance and hands-on support to take the stress off your plate. We help you organize records and tell your child's story clearly to the decision-makers.
