Before you start

  • Medicaid and Social Security status, health team and medications, insurance, housing goals, income and resources, benefits notices, and upcoming transition dates.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the county-assigned LME/MCO, the contact on the controlling notice, or the program-specific help route cited here.

Step by step

  1. Apply or maintain NC Medicaid and Social Security through their official routes.
  2. Build an adult-health handoff covering providers, medications, records, consent, insurance, and emergencies.
  3. Use the state community-living guide to identify housing and funding routes, then verify each program directly.

Expected next

A submitted application, benefits event, adult-health handoff, housing inquiry, or documented non-fit.

Save this proof

Applications, case numbers, notices, health record transfer, housing contacts, deadlines, and next events.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate within the program that owns the stalled action; progress in one program does not resolve another.
