Use this table as a guide
Monthly income levels are a big part of determining who can get BadgerCare Plus. This table shows the income limits for BadgerCare Plus. The limits are based on federal poverty level (FPL).
You can use this table as a guide, but the best way to see if you can get coverage is to apply online today. You can also apply by phone or in person at your agency. We recommend calling the agency ahead of time to make an appointment.
Here’s another good reason to apply. At the same time, we’ll see if you can get other state benefits. With one application, you might be able to get help with food, housing, child care, and more.
