Wash. Admin. Code § 182-504-0125 - Washington apple health-Effect of reported changes
(1) If you report a change required under WAC
182-504-0105 during a
certification period, you continue to be eligible for Washington apple health
coverage until we decide if you can keep getting apple health coverage under
your current apple health program or a different apple health
program.
(2) If your apple health
categorically needy (CN) coverage ends due to a reported change and you meet
all the eligibility requirements for a different apple health CN program, we
will approve your coverage under the new apple health CN program. If you are
not eligible for coverage under any apple health CN program but you meet the
eligibility requirements for either apple health alternative benefits plan
(ABP) coverage or apple health medically needy (MN) coverage, we will approve
your coverage under the program you are eligible for. If you are not eligible
for coverage under any apple health CN program but you meet the eligibility
requirements for both apple health ABP coverage and apple health MN coverage,
we will approve the apple health ABP coverage unless you notify us that you
prefer apple health MN coverage.
(3) If your apple health coverage ends and
you are not eligible for a different apple health program, we stop your apple
health coverage after giving you advance and adequate notice unless the
exception in subsection (4) of this section applies to you.
(4) If you claim to have a disability and
that is the only basis for you to be potentially eligible for apple health
coverage, then we refer you to the division of disability determination
services (within the department of social and health services) for a disability
determination. Pending the outcome of the disability determination, we also
determine if you are eligible for apple health coverage under the SSI-related
medical program described in chapter 182-512 WAC. If you have countable income
in excess of the SSI-related categorically needy income level (CNIL), then we
look to see if you can get coverage under apple health MN with spenddown as
described in chapter 182-519 WAC pending the final outcome of the disability
determination.
(5) If you are
eligible for and receive coverage under the apple health parent and caretaker
relative program described in WAC
182-505-0240, you may be eligible
for the apple health medical extension program described in WAC
182-523-0100, if your coverage
ends as a result of an increase in your earned income.
(6) Changes in income during a certification
period do not affect eligibility for the following programs:
(a) Apple health for pregnant
women;
(b) Apple health for
children, except as specified in subsection (7) of this section;
(c) Apple health for SSI
recipients;
(d) Apple health
refugee program; and
(e) Apple
health medical extension program.
(7) We redetermine eligibility for children
receiving apple health for kids premium-based coverage described in WAC
182-505-0210 when the:
(a) Household's countable income decreases to
a percentage of the federal poverty level (FPL) that would result in either a
change in premium for apple health for kids with premiums or the children
becoming eligible for apple health for kids (without premiums);
(b) Child becomes pregnant;
(c) Family size changes; or
(d) Child receives SSI.
(8) If you get SSI-related apple health CN
coverage and report a change in work or earned income which results in a
determination by the division of disability determination services that you no
longer meet the definition of a disabled person as described in WAC
182-512-0050 due to work or
earnings at the level of substantial gainful activity (SGA), we redetermine
your eligibility for coverage under the health care for workers with
disabilities (HWD) program. The HWD program is a premium-based program that
waives the SGA work or earnings test, and you must approve the premium amount
before we can authorize coverage under this program. For HWD program rules, see
chapter 182-511 WAC.
