2.7.2 BadgerCare Plus Group Examples using MAGI Rules

Example 1

Temperance (36) and Seeley (40) are married parents and are not filing taxes. They have one daughter, Christine (1).

 

 

Example 2

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are married parents filing taxes separately but living together. They have two daughters, Jane (18) and Elizabeth (17). Jane’s husband, Charles (20) also lives with them. Mr. Bennett is claiming Jane, Elizabeth, and Charles as his tax dependents.

 

 

Example 3

Evie (29) and Derrick (32) are divorced parents. Their son, Neal (8), lives with Evie 80% of the time and 20% of the time with Derrick. Per their divorce agreement, this is Derrick’s year to claim Neal as his tax dependent. Evie also files taxes. Evie is pregnant with her second child. Evie, Derrick, and Neal are all applying for health care. Evie and Neal will be on their own application. Derrick will have to apply on a separate application.

 

 

Example 4

Same as above, except Neal lives 60% of the time with Evie and 40% of the time with Derrick, and neither Evie nor Derrick file taxes.  

 

 

Example 5

George (50) and Lucille (40) are married tax filers and are filing jointly. They have three tax dependents: Michael (14), Lindsay (14), and Buster (6). Buster is Lucille’s nephew who George and Lucille care for. Michael and Lindsay are George and Lucille’s children. George and Lucille also care for George’s nephew Tobias (17) but will not claim him as a tax dependent. All six individuals are requesting health care.

They submit a BadgerCare Plus application for themselves, Danny’s daughter DJ (22), Vicki’s daughter Stephanie (13) Danny and Vicki’s daughter, Michelle (10) and Danny’s brother, Uncle Jesse (40). Danny claims DJ and Jesse as his tax dependents, while Vicki claims Stephanie and Michelle as her tax dependents.

 

 

Note: Uncle Jesse and DJ will need to file their own applications.
