The policy on this page is from a previous version of the handbook.
When a member in a suspension is released from prison or jail and this information becomes known to the income maintenance agency, full-benefit BadgerCare Plus eligibility can be reinstated without a new application for benefits. Upon release, the suspended member’s eligibility must be redetermined. If eligible, the member’s BadgerCare Plus coverage will start the first of the month in which the member is released. The member’s health care certification renewal date will not change.
| Example 1 | Cameron is incarcerated and enrolled in suspended BadgerCare Plus. His renewal date is June 30, 2021. Cameron is released on December 15, 2020. Cameron opens for full-benefit BadgerCare Plus starting December 1, 2020. His renewal date remains June 30, 2021. |
The suspension may be lifted effective for the first of the month when the person was released from prison or jail, even if the release was reported untimely. However, this retroactive lifting may only go as far back as the beginning of the current certification period.
