Workers access the USCIS data through the Alien Status Verification System (ASVS). procedures in order to determine eligibility for BadgerCare Plus. If SAVE verifies the pregnant woman is a non-qualifying immigrant, proceed with determining eligibility for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program.

3. A non-qualifying immigrant whose immigration status changes while they are pregnant and receiving BadgerCare Plus Prenatal benefits must have their eligibility re-determined using the new immigration status. If their new status makes them eligible for BadgerCare Plus for Pregnant Women, they are no longer eligible for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program.
