DISCUSSION:
Effective April 1, 2025, the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) income guidelines increase for all MAGI programs, including Presumptive Eligibility (PE).
MAGI cases were adjusted on February 22, 2025 based on the new FPL income guidelines. Changes in circumstance or applications processed prior to April 1, 2025 will need to be authorized before the FPL change can be viewed.
PREMIUM REFUNDS
Premiums paid for April coverage will be refunded to the participant if the FPL causes the case to:
- become eligible as a non-premium case;
- go from CHIP75 to CHIP74; or
- go from CHIP74 to CHIP73.
The refund process will take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
PRESUMPTIVE ELIGIBILITY
PE Manual Appendix A income standards are updated. These standards are effective from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Use the new FPL income guidelines beginning April 1, 2025
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
