2.5 Assistance Groups

Because of different BadgerCare Plus group requirements, individuals within the BadgerCare Plus test group are placed into a BadgerCare Plus Assistance Group (AG).

Every BadgerCare Plus AG will have at least one potentially eligible member. Besides these potentially eligible members, other individuals may be designated as a person whose income will be counted when determining financial eligibility. Still others may be counted only in the group size. Some individuals on the application will not considered at all when determining eligibility. Placement in the BadgerCare Plus AG is dependent on age, and relationships to the individual(s) whose eligibility is being determined.

The following are the BadgerCare Plus Assistance Groups for individuals whose eligibility is being determined using non-MAGI rules:
