Because of different BadgerCare Plus eligibility requirements, people within the BadgerCare Plus test group are placed into various BadgerCare Plus assistance groups.
Every BadgerCare Plus assistance group will have one potentially eligible member. Besides these potentially eligible members, other people may be designated as a person who is counted in the group and whose income may be counted when determining financial eligibility. Some people on the application will not be considered at all when determining eligibility. Placement in BadgerCare Plus assistance groups is dependent on age, tax filing relationships, and family relationships to the individual(s) whose eligibility is being determined.
