"In the last edition of News & Views on 12/8/2022, we shared that HIP members over 100% federal poverty level will no longer be "locked out" of the program for nonpayment of POWER Account contributions. HIP members have always had a 60 day grace period to make payments, but in the past, if enrollment was ended for nonpayment, the consumer had to wait 6 months to reapply for HIP. With the dissolution of the six month lock out period, if a consumer does not pay past due contributions during the 60 day grace period, the consumer can reapply immediately.
During the Public Health Emergency unwinding (return to normal operations), HIP members who fail to complete redetermination will have 90 days to complete the redetermination and regain their coverage without having to reapply (if eligible)."
