Unless reported otherwise, it is assumed during the administrative renewal process that household composition and tax filing status have not changed. 26.2.2 Administrative Renewal Selection Criteria To be considered for an administrative renewal, a member must be due for renewal in the following month and have eligibility in one or more qualifying BadgerCare Plus, Family Planning Only Services (FPOS), or Elderly, Blind, or Disabled (EBD) Medicaid assistance groups (AGs) open, including members open with a suspended status. Some members in a household may have their eligibility administratively renewed while other members in the household must complete a regular renewal to continue their eligibility. A member's health care eligibility can be administratively renewed if all of the information necessary to determine the member’s eligibility is on file and can be verified through a data exchange (for example, income with a SWICA match or Equifax match through FDSH, Social Security income, and/or Unemployment income). A member’s health care eligibility cannot be administratively renewed if they meet any of the following criteria: • Have income on file that cannot be verified through a data exchange, such as self-employment income, alimony/spousal support, interest and dividend income, and other types of countable income for BadgerCare Plus. • Are age 14 or older and have a missing or unverified SSN. • Are enrolled in BadgerCare Plus as a Former Foster Care Youth and are turning 26 years old. • Are enrolled in BadgerCare Plus and turning 19 years old or 65 years old. • Are pregnant and the due date is on or before the renewal month. • Are enrolled in BadgerCare Plus after having met a deductible. • Are enrolled in a BadgerCare Plus extension. • Have a calendar year tax dependent in their tax filing group. • Are already in the process of completing a regular renewal. • Mail was returned for the member’s household with no forwarding address, and an up-to-date address has not been received. 26.2.3 Administrative Renewal Process The administrative renewal process begins in the 11th month of a member’s certification period. CARES determines who qualifies for an administrative renewal, verifies and updates information based on data exchanges, tests employment income and SWICA and FDSH results for reasonable compatibility, and runs through batch eligibility (see Process Help, Section 7.6 Administrative (Admin) Renewals). 26.2.3.1 Successful Administrative Renewals Members who have a successful administrative renewal will have health care or FPOS eligibility redetermined, will be recertified for a new 12-month certification period, and will receive a Notice of Decision. If any members in the household can be administratively renewed, the household will be sent a letter notifying them that their eligibility has been renewed, along with a case summary. The member(s) must review the information on the case summary and report if any of the information is incorrect within 30
