A process which allows access to USCIS data to validate the immigration status of immigrants who are applying, or for enrollees who report a change in immigration status, for BC+. Workers access the USCIS data through the Alien Status Verification System (ASVS). procedures in order to determine eligibility for BadgerCare Plus. If SAVE verifies the pregnant woman is a non-qualifying immigrant, proceed with determining eligibility for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program.
2. For immigrants who do not have legal immigration status, do not request SAVE verification and continue with the determination of eligibility for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program.
3. A non-qualifying immigrant whose immigration status changes while she is pregnant and receiving BadgerCare Plus Prenatal benefits must have her eligibility re-determined using the new immigration status. If her new status makes her eligible for BadgerCare Plus for Pregnant Women, she is no longer eligible for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program.
