Example 2 Greg is a 20-year-old with TB and is applying for BadgerCare Plus. Greg lives with his dad, Barry, and is Barry’s tax dependent. Under MAGI budgeting rules, Barry and Greg are one MAGI Test Group and we must count Barry’s MAGI income (which includes Greg’s income if he is required to file taxes). The monthly MAGI income for Barry and Greg is $1,900, which is 105% of the FPL for a group of two. This makes Greg ineligible for BadgerCare Plus as a childless adult. However, that same MAGI income amount is less than the $2,073 TB income limit for an unmarried individual, which makes Greg eligible for TB-Related Medicaid.
