Your responsibilities
Reporting changes
You can report changes through your ACCESS account, by calling or visiting your agency or
by completing and submitting the following form:
You must report to the agency any of the changes listed below:
For health care coverage through BadgerCare Plus or Medicaid, report to the agency within
10 days any changes in:
· Employment of any household member (beginning or ending, part time to full time).
· Anyone moving in or out of your home, someone becoming pregnant or giving birth,
someone getting married or divorced, or your living arrangement changing (for
example, someone goes into a nursing home or other institution).
· Health insurance.
· Assets (only if your household receives Medicaid for the Elderly, Blind, or Disabled).
· Housing bills, utility bills, medical expenses, or other allowable expenses (only if your
household receives Medicaid for the Elderly, Blind, or Disabled).
For Family Planning Only Services, you only need to report within 10 days if:
· You move to a new address or out of state.
If you are applying only for emergency services because of your immigration status or you
are a pregnant woman applying for BadgerCare Plus Prenatal Services, you do not need to
provide Social Security number information. For a health care application or renewal, you do
not need to provide a Social Security number or apply for one for your infant if you were
Your Social Security number will not be shared with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS).
The Income and Eligibility Verification System and other computer matching are used to verify
information with agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security
Administration, Unemployment Insurance Division, and Department of Transportation. The
agency may also submit this information to USCIS and other agencies for verification.
The county or tribal agency, the Department of Health Services, and the Department of
Children and Families are authorized under Wisconsin law to request any information that is
appropriate and necessary for the proper administration of programs. By applying, you are
authorizing any person, including any financial institution, credit reporting agency, employer,
or educational institution, to release this information. This authorization remains in effect until
your application or renewal is denied or your enrollment ends.
Immigration status
All people living in your household who are applying for benefits must be U.S. citizens,
nationals, or qualifying immigrants to get benefits. The immigration status of any person in
your household who is applying for benefits will be verified with USCIS. Information from
USCIS may affect your household's enrollment and benefit amount. Immigration status will
not be verified with USCIS for people who are not applying for benefits, but their income and
contributions may be counted.
Your enrollment in health care benefits gives the state the right to collect medical support
payments for medical expenses that are covered by BadgerCare Plus and/or Medicaid.
Medical support payments include those made under a court order and/or by an insurer.
The state has the right to use part of the medical support to pay back the cost of health care
benefits you receive. The medical support payments kept by the state cannot be more than
the total amount of health care benefits you receive through BadgerCare Plus and/or
Medicaid. If you no longer receive health care benefits, the state has the right to collect
medical support payments on past-due medical expenses that were covered by BadgerCare
Plus and/or Medicaid.
If you believe that the Department of Health Services has failed to provide these services or
discriminated in another way on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or
sex, you can file grievance with: Department of Health Services, Attn: Civil Rights
Coordinator, 1 West Wilson Street, Room 651, PO Box 7850, Madison, WI 53707-7850, 844-

By checking this box, I attest that I have read and understand the rights and responsibilities
on this screen.
To get child care, health care, Caretaker Supplement (CTS), Wisconsin Works (W-2) and/or
Job Access Loan assistance, you are required by law to cooperate with your county, tribal
human/social services, W-2 and child support agencies. You must cooperate in getting any
support (financial or medical) owed to you and your children. (You may not have to cooperate
for some children, depending on their age and which benefits you have requested for them.)
The eligibility of children and pregnant women for health care is not affected if you fail to
cooperate.
Your cooperation is important because it may help you and your children:
· Find the absent parent.
· Legally establish the identity of your child's absent parent.
· Become eligible for Social Security, Veterans Benefits, or other government benefits in
the future.
· Receive adequate child or medical support payments or both to end your need for child
care, W-2, or health care benefits.
You may have a good reason for not cooperating. The following are circumstances under
which your agency may find that you have "good cause" for not cooperating:
Your cooperation could result in physical and/or emotional harm to your child,
including child kidnapping;
Your cooperation could result in physical and/or emotional harm to you, including
domestic abuse;
Your cooperation with the child support agency would make it more difficult for you to
escape domestic abuse or risk further domestic abuse;
Your child was born as a result of incest or sexual assault;
A petition for the adoption of your child has been filed with a court or;
You are working with an agency that is helping you to decide whether you will place
your child up for adoption.
When there has been a determination that you are not cooperating with the child support
agency, you will need to either submit a timely good cause claim or cooperate with the child
support agency, or you may lose your benefit(s).
If your claim of good cause for not cooperating with the child support agency is denied, you
will not be eligible for child care, W-2, Job Access Loans, health care, or CTS unless you
begin to cooperate. If you are receiving health care, your children may still be eligible. The
county or tribal human/social services and child support agencies will continue in the effort to
obtain any financial and medical support for the children who are getting health care.
If you are receiving W-2 services and you do not agree with the "good cause" claim decision,
you may request a fact-finding review by contacting your W-2 Agency within 45 days of the
decision date.
If you are receiving child care, health care, or CTS, and you do not agree with the good
cause claim decision, you may request a Fair Hearing by writing to the Department of
Administration, Division of Hearings and Appeals within 45 days of the decision date.
I have read this information and I understand that I have the right to claim good cause for not
cooperating with child support.
