The Low Income Premium Program (LIPP) is designed to help persons with
limited incomes to remain on Pool coverage by
offering a reduced premium. INCOME ALONE
DOES NOT DETERMINE POOL ELIGIBILITY
To qualify for
the LIPP you must:
-
Be
currently enrolled in the Pool or, if
submitting an initial application, meet all
eligibility requirements; and
-
Certify
that only you or someone in your family will
be paying your monthly premium (no other
third party may pay your premiums); and
-
Meet the
income guidelines; and
-
Submit a
LIPP Supplemental Application annually,
along with required proof of household
income.
To determine
if you meet the income guidelines:
-
Total the
income of all related adult household
members, as reported on the previous year’s
Federal Income Tax Form (Line 4 of Form
1040EZ, Line 15 of Form 1040A or Line 22 of
Form 1040)
-
Total the
number of related household members of all
ages
-
