To follow up Covering Kids & Families created a "10 Things To Know About Upcoming BadgerCare+ Changes" fact sheet, and a 'Decision Tree' version, both of which are linked below.
You may also view and download these 2 resources on the CKF Homepage: www.ckfwi.org under CKF News
The critical messages for families are:
1. JULY 1st: Changes will begin as early as July 1, 2012. Some changes may not occur until a family renews their BadgerCare+ coverage.
2. CHILDREN: Children will not directly be affected by upcoming changes, though many children will be indirectly affected due to changes for their parents.
3. ADULTS & INCOME: Adults enrolled in BadgerCare+ with incomes at 133% of the federal poverty level or above will see an increased or new monthly premium payment based on their income.
I hope you find these documents useful for yourselves and families who have concerns. Please feel free to contact me or anyone at Covering Kids and Families if you are seeking more information. Parents and others may call as well. 608-261-1455
