renewal indicates that they still meet FPOS eligibility requirements, a new certification period begins for FPOS. If a member completes a renewal for another program of assistance at any time before FPOS eligibility ends and reports income that is over the income limit for FPOS, the increase in income will not affect current FPOS eligibility. The income is not considered until the next renewal (at the end of the original certification period). If at this renewal, they are found to still have income in excess of the FPOS limit, eligibility for FPOS ends. If verification is needed at renewal, FPOS will be maintained until the verification is received or the verification due date. If there is a request for BadgerCare Plus on file and the member is otherwise eligible, they can become eligible for BadgerCare Plus back to the month of the change (or the month the change was reported, whichever is later). Eligibility for BadgerCare Plus can overlap with FPOS in this situation.

A person who has declared U.S. citizenship is not eligible for BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Program under this group even when they cannot produce citizenship verification, identity verification, or both. • Pregnant people who are inmates of a public institution (see SECTION 45.8.2 PREGNANT MEMBERS) and would otherwise be placed in suspended status for BadgerCare Plus or who are both an inmate of a public institution and a non-citizen who does not meet the BadgerCare Plus immigration status requirements.
