9.3 Eligibility Renewals

The group's eligibility should not be denied for failure to provide the required verification until the 10th day after requesting verification or the end of the renewal month whichever is later.  

 

Example 1: Fred’s eligibility renewal is due in April.  He submits a mail-in renewal form on April 10th.  The eligibility worker requests verification of his income on April 11th.  If the verification is not submitted by April 30th, his eligibility will end on April 30th.

 

Example 2: Shannon’s eligibility renewal was due in June. At Adverse Action in June a notice was sent to Shannon to let her know her BadgerCare Plus eligibility would end June 30th because she had not yet completed her renewal.  A telephone interview was conducted on June 30th.  A request for verification, with a July 10th due date, was sent to Shannon. Because the required verification (including signature) was not submitted by July 10th, her eligibility beginning July 1st was denied.

 

Note: After an individual transitions to MAGI rules, requested verification turned in within 90 days of the renewal due date should be processed as timely. See Process Help 4.6.
