Policy Memo: FamilyCare Expansion to 400% of the FPL

Summary:

  • The FamilyCare income standard is increasing to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) effective immediately.
  • FamilyCare Premium expands to include adults with income from 185% to 200% of the FPL and adds 2 new FamilyCare Premium Levels:  FamilyCare Premium Level 2 for adults with income from 200% to 300% of the FPL and FamilyCare Premium Level 3 for adults with income from 300% to 400% of the FPL. 
  • A new eligibility requirement is added for FamilyCare Rebate.
  • Interim procedures are in place until the system changes in AIS and ACM are complete.
  • After processing eligibility for children in families with income greater than 185% of the FPL, Family Community Resource Center (FCRC) staff will transfer both the children's case and information pertaining to adult applicants in the case to the central All Kids Unit for further processing.
  • Timely transfer of All Kids Premium cases to the central All Kids Unit is important to ensure that potentially eligible adults are considered for the FamilyCare expansion as soon as possible.
