An application is valid if it has the applicant's name, the applicant’s address, and the signature of any of the following people:
the adult or minor applicant;
the applicant's designated AR;
an adult applying on behalf of a minor child ; or
a person 19 or older who: is included in the applicant’s MAGI household composition; or has a tax relationship with the applicant.
Note: Applicants are not required to live at the same physical address to apply for each other. For example, a non-custodial parent may apply for Medicaid and CHIP on behalf of their child if the parent expects to claim the child as a tax dependent on their federal income tax return.
