03. Failure to Provide Information. Failure to provide the Department with information to determine eligibility may subject the participant to a monthly premium equal to the average monthly cost of coverage for participants receiving Medicaid Enhanced Plan Benefits through HCCDC.

04. Failure to Pay Premium. Failure to pay the premium will not cause the participant to lose coverage or eligibility for services.

05. Waiver of Premium. The premium is waived if the Department determines payment of the premium would cause undue hardship. Undue hardship exists when an unexpected expense would cause the household to forgo basic food or shelter to make a premium payment. Detailed documentation of the household's living expenses demonstrating such hardship must be provided to the Department.

06. Premium Recalculation. Premiums are recalculated at each annual eligibility determination. If the Department receives verification of a reduction in household income prior to annual redetermination, the premium is recalculated.
