The time period for processing an application for BadgerCare Plus is 30 days from the date the agency receives the application.

• For paper applications, this is the date a signed valid application is delivered to the agency or the next business day if it is delivered after the agency’s regularly scheduled business hours.
• For phone applications, this is the date a valid signature is received by the agency.
• For electronic applications from ACCESS or the Marketplace, this is the next business day if the application is delivered weekdays after 4:30 p.m., on a weekend, or on a holiday.   

Eligibility should not be denied for failure to provide the required verification until the later of:

• 20th day after requesting verification.
• 30th day after the application filing date.

Advise the applicant of the specific verification required. Give the applicant a minimum of 20 calendar days to provide any necessary verification.

If verification is requested more than 20 days prior to the 30th day, the applicant must still be allowed 30 days from the application filing date to provide the required verification.
