IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The following is important information regarding Medicaid for persons who are elderly, blind or have a disability: Authorized Representative You may authorize a representative to apply for you. If you want to authorize a representative, fill out the Authorized Representative page (Attachment 2 of this application packet). This will allow that person to complete and sign the application for you. A legal guardian, conservator or power of attorney may apply for an individual without authorization by the individual. If you are a person's court appointed guardian, conservator or have durable power of attorney for finances, you must submit the legal documentation authorizing you to be that person's appointed guardian or durable power of attorney for finances. Application Date Your application date is the date the Medicaid office gets your signed application. A decision on your Medicaid will be mailed to you within 30 days of your application date. Unsigned forms will be returned. It is important to apply as soon as possible since the date your benefits will begin, if you are eligible, is based on your application date. Backdated Coverage You may be able to get Medicaid benefits for up to three months before your application date if you provide the necessary information to show you met the Medicaid rules for those months. If you want help paying for health care for any of the past three months (backdated coverage) complete the "Medicaid Backdated Coverage Request" page (Attachment 1) found in this application packet. Personally Identifiable Information / Social Security Number Personally identifiable information and Social Security Numbers are used only for the direct administration of the Medicaid program. If someone in your household is not applying for Medicaid, you do not need to provide Social Security Number (SSN) information for that person. Any person who wants Wisconsin Medicaid, but does not provide their SSN or apply for one will not be eligible for benefits, pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes § 49.82(2). If you are applying only for emergency services because of your immigration status, or you are a pregnant woman applying for the BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Services, you do not need to provide SSN information. Your SSN permits a computer check of your information with government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Social Security Administration, Department of Revenue and the Department of Workforce Development. In addition, the Department of Health and Family Services will match your name and SSN with information provided by health insurance carriers to determine if you have other health insurance. Your SSN will not be shared with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Reviews If you are able to get Medicaid, you will need to complete a review at least once every 12 months to see if you still meet all the Medicaid rules for benefits. Estate Recovery If you get Medicaid, Wisconsin State law, with limited exceptions, requires the recovery of certain Medicaid benefits from your estate. The "Estate Recovery Program" brochure (PHC 13032) provides you with information on estate recovery. You may get a copy of the brochure from your local county or tribal agency or by contacting Member Services at 1-800-362-3002. Certain benefits you get in the community after age 55 and all Medicaid benefits you get while residing in a nursing home or while you are an inpatient in a hospital for 30 days or more, are recoverable. Also, if you reside in a nursing home or are institutionalized in a hospital, and are not expected to return home to live, a lien may be placed on your home. A lien may not be placed on your home if you, your spouse or certain other family members reside in the home.
