are not eligible for another category of full-benefit health care, they will keep their HCBW Medicaid and can keep getting Medicaid card services for the rest of the 12-month continuous coverage period. Example 10 Chen is enrolled in CLTS as of January 1, 2024. His renewal date is September 30, 2024. In April 2024, the county waiver agency reports that Chen is no longer functionally eligible for CLTS. Chen does not qualify for BadgerCare Plus or Medicaid, so he remains enrolled in HCBW Medicaid through September 30, 2024.

Note If someone voluntarily disenrolls from HCBW services, it will be treated as a voluntary disenrollment from HCBW Medicaid and continuous coverage under HCBW Medicaid will end. 1.2.8 SSI Medicaid If a child getting SSI Medicaid loses their SSI cash benefits or 1619(b) eligibility, they will keep their SSI Medicaid for the rest of the 12-month continuous coverage period. Their 12-month period is based on the month their most recent enrollment in SSI Medicaid began, since SSI Medicaid does not have applications or renewals. Example 11 Jill is enrolled in SSI Medicaid as of February 1, 2024. Her 12-month continuous coverage period is February 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025. Jill no longer qualifies for SSI cash benefits in September 2024. She will keep her SSI Medicaid through January 31, 2025.

Example 12 Abdul has been enrolled in SSI Medicaid since May 1, 2021. In July 2024, Abdul loses his SSI cash benefits. He will keep his SSI Medicaid through April 30, 2025.

Example 13 Leo was enrolled in SSI Medicaid since January 1, 2021. In August 2024, Leo loses his SSI cash benefits. He will keep his SSI Medicaid through December 31, 2024. In May 2025, Leo starts getting SSI cash benefits again and he is re-enrolled in SSI Medicaid. He gets a new 12-month continuous coverage period from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. 1.2.9 WWWMA If a child enrolled in WWWMA no longer requires treatment or gets health insurance that covers their treatment, they will keep their WWWMA for the rest of the 12-month continuous coverage period. 1.2.10 Transitions Between CHIP and Medicaid BadgerCare Plus is funded by both Medicaid (Title 19) and CHIP (Title 21) (see SECTION 51.1 BADGERCARE PLUS CATEGORIES). During a child's 12-month continuous coverage period, they may not move from a Medicaid-funded health care category to a CHIP-funded category unless their eligibility determination was based on incorrect information or agency error (see SECTION 1.2.3.1 WHEN ELIGIBILITY WAS BASED ON INCORRECT INFORMATION OR AGENCY ERROR). However, they may move from a CHIP-funded category to a full-benefit Medicaid-funded category, with one exception: a child may not move from a CHIP-funded BadgerCare Plus category into a BadgerCare Plus earned income or spousal support extension. When a child moves from a CHIP-funded category to a
