MAGI Income Disregard Example: A WVCHIP applicant has MAGI household income of 216% FPL. The 5% MAGI income disregard will not be applied because the highest income limit of any WVCHIP enrollment group for which the child may be eligible is 300% FPL. If the WVCHIP applicant’s income is 305% FPL, then the 5% MAGI income disregard would be applied to bring the child’s household income to below 300% FPL. WVCHIP coverage is approved.
