New or renewal?

[cornbread]

My red card expired way back in October.
Then I got caught up in the welldocs scandle the slobs at the Health dept. invented.
At what point, if any, would I check new instead of renewal?
Still toying with the idea of another red card.
I've a friend with a tarantula with some good stuff so I really couldn't care less - just curious.
What say?

If you have ever had a red card, it will be a renewal.

And what would the Health dept do if I checked new, sent it in certified retaining the proof, and went to dispensaries and bought meds for 35 days?
Thx

I wouldn't take the risk they could deny the application using Fraud as the deciding factor & if they deny it you are out for 6 months. Of course you could get lucky and they only reject it in which case you would only need to send in a new form.

Well I am about to find out. I applied in 2010 for card in the spring. Got a rejection letter in the fall 2010 due to clerical error by the MMC. I fixed the problem and resent app. I never heard from them again before I unexpectedly had to move in December 2010. I never received a red card from them if it was ever sent and never ever used it. I have sent 4 emails over the past 6 months telling them this and asking if I was approved in 2010 not one response concerning my questions on the matter.

Its been 2 months now and not a word from them cept they havent gotten to my mail yet. I am starting to suspect they are holding my app for further investigation. The doctors office told me to mark new well they marked it not me once i explained the situation.

Any one know with this happening was I ever considered a red card holder IF i never even seen or used the red card or even living in the state at the time? I wish i could get them to give me an answer.

Ironic considering your signature...
I believe I mentioned I really didn't care what the the slobs did...just curious WHAT they'll do
Fraud? I can only hope. Rejection? A wet dream

@Valstar...why don't you call them and find out?

[valstar]

Because they dont answer the phone any more. You have to leave a message and they dont get back with you. I did and nothing. I am starting to think they either dont have an answer or just going to reject and let the paper work speak for them.

On a whim I tried your suggestion again. I guess on weekends they arent busy and you can get through. This is the first time I actually wasnt sent to voicemail.

I got some good news and bad news. My card was approved on Feb 1st. However they sent it to the wrong address. To my old address I lived at 2 years ago. It is not even the address on my new app. Why in the world they sent it to a different address that what is on the applicaiton that I just sent in on Dec 16th 2011 blows my mind.

I got even more bad news too. I now have to wait for the card to be sent back to them or claim it lost or stolen in a few days time. They said that I will have to wait for them to call me in a couple weeks. To talk to some one. Then I have to wait more time for it to be processed then more time for a reprint.

I told them I shouldnt have to wait at all. Its not my fault the person processing my app sent it to an address not even on the application. This is a major F up on thier part and I am the one suffering because some one didnt do their job right and now on top of the 2 months I have been waiting I am looking at least another month. Of course No sympathy from the person on the phone just attitude because she didnt like me complaining about it.

Stress makes my chron's disease worse and I am already throwing up before this happened and cant get relief and losing weight fast. This is just very frustrating.

I woul;d call the governors office and start making phone calls to everyone to complain...sometimes the loudest voice gets heard especially when they screw up.

I didnt call the governors office but I did go to my doctors office and talked with them. I wished I would have done this weeks ago. The office staff ( Jay ) got me in touch with a supervisor today. My card is sitting in a desk drawer waiting to be rejected according to the supervisor. After explaining the situation I find out the rude girl has no clue what she is talking about and did not handle my situation properly. The supervisor made the rude girl do an addendum to my complaint and told her not to reject the card. I did every thing right and its not my fault they sent it to an address thats not even on my application.

My card was approved back on January 18th not Feb 1st like the rude girl told me. It was sent and already returned to them on Feb 1st and was dropped in a drawer on Feb 1st. It appears two people are about to get in trouble especially the person that processed my app for sending it to an address that wasnt even on the application.

The office that sends the cards is closes on weekends so the supervisor did some special flag on my app so the people Monday will see what happend and to mail that card sitting in the drawer to me next week not in a month like the rude girl told me.

I learned a valuable lesson. Dont be afraid to complain and keep doing it when you feel you are not wrong. Ask for a supervisor if you dont like how you are being treated or handled. Hopefully my misfortune will help others in the future and they learn from this. I bet you money they will never mail cards out again to an address thats not even on the application.
