24-03 Version of 26.3 Renewal Processing

A BadgerCare Plus eligibility renewal letter and a Pre-Printed Renewal Form (PPRF) are generated in the second week of the 11th month of the certification period . Do not schedule a renewal until after adverse action in the month prior to the month of renewal.  

Do not require a new authorized representative form at renewal if the person signing the renewal is the authorized representative on file. If the renewal is not completed by the end of the certification period, the case will close. The closure notice is generated through CARES, at adverse action in the renewal month.

26.3.1 Signature at Renewal

The member must include a valid signature at the time of renewal. This includes either signing telephonically, signing electronically, or signing in writing one of the following:

• The paper application form or Pre-Printed Renewal Form (PPRF)
• The signature page of the Application Summary
• The ACCESS or FFMFederally-Facilitated Marketplace (also known as the Marketplace or the Exchange). Applications for BadgerCare Plus or Medicaid may be filed with the Federally-Facilitated Marketplace, run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Marketplace will assess their applicants as potentially eligible for the State’s Medicaid or CHIP programs, and, if found potentially eligible, will transfer individual accounts to the income maintenance agency for a full determination. Individuals who apply at income maintenance agencies or ACCESS and are found ineligible for Medicaid or CHIP will be sent to the Marketplace. application form with an electronic signature

With the exception of renewals completed through the administrative renewal process, the signature requirements for renewals are the same as those for applications (see Section 25.5 Valid Signature).
