Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services Obsolete Medicaid Eligibility Handbook For the current MEH, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/meh-ebd/ For the current BC Plus Handbook, see http://www.emhandbooks.wi.gov/bcplus/ |
During an extension, a group or individual may become eligible for AFDC-Medicaid and then, for one of the reasons listed (5.6.2) become ineligible again and earn another extension. When more than one extension applies at the same time, choose the extension which gives the longest coverage, and cancel the other.
|
Example 1: A former AFDC-Medicaid group with a twelve-month extension comes back on AFDC-Medicaid. The extension continues to run while the group is on AFDC-Medicaid. In the tenth month of the twelve-month extension the group goes off AFDC-Medicaid again and qualifies for a four-month child support extension. Apply the new four-month extension because it gives the longest coverage. Cancel the remaining two months of the twelve-month extension. |
Determine what extensions each person in the AFDC-Medicaid group has, and apply any new extension accordingly.
|
Example 2: Two persons in the current AFDC-Medicaid group earned a twelve-month extension from membership in a previous group. The current group now goes off AFDC-Medicaid and earns a four-month child support month extension. The two persons with twelve-month extensions are entitled to retain them if this results in a longer period of Medicaid coverage for them than the new four-month extension would. |
