Guardian When an application is submitted with a signature of someone claiming to be the applicant’s guardian, the IM agency must obtain a copy of the document that designates the signer of the application as the guardian. From the documents provided, ensure that the individual claiming to be the applicant’s guardian can file an application on the applicant's behalf. When someone has been designated as one of the following, only the guardian, not the applicant, may sign the application or appoint an authorized representative: • Guardian of the estate • Guardian of the person and the estate • Guardian of the person and the court document appointing the legal guardian of the person specifically grants the guardian the authority to enroll their ward in BadgerCare Plus, Medicaid, or public assistance programs.

Note The guardian of the person may ask the court to update their letters of guardianship to grant them the authority to enroll their ward in public assistance programs The applicant may appoint their guardian of the person to be their authorized representative.

If an applicant has a conservator, the applicant can still sign the application on their own behalf.
