1. (a) Upon receipt of an application or an Add a Person Application form, the program shall determine if there is funding available for additional enrollment of child-linked adults in the program.

   1. (A) Child-linked adults with an annual household income after income deductions of up to and including 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
   2. (B) Child-linked adults with an annual household income after income deductions greater than 100 percent and up to and including 150 percent of the federal poverty level.
   3. (C) Child-linked adults with an annual household income after income deductions greater than 150 percent and up to and including 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

   4. (2) The waiting list will be maintained as follows:

      1. (A) Child-linked adults in category (b)(1)(B) will be placed ahead of child-linked adults in category (b)(1)(C) on the waiting list. Child-linked adults in category (b)(1)(A) will be placed ahead of child-linked adults in category (b)(1)(B) on the waiting list.
      2. (B) Within each category, persons for whom application is being made who are determined to be eligible will be listed in the order in which completed applications were received by the program.
      3. (C) Each applicant shall be notified of placement on the waiting list. When a vacancy occurs or funds become available, whichever is applicable, persons for whom application is being made shall be enrolled in the order in which they appear on the waiting list.

   (b)(1) If there is no funding available for coverage of child-linked adults and the Board estimates that the program will be closed to new enrollment of child-linked adults for less than six (6) consecutive weeks, applications will be reviewed for completeness as set forth in Section 2699.6606 below and if complete, for eligibility. For persons age 19 and over who are determined to be eligible, the program will retain the applicant's family parent contributions payment to use to enroll the eligible child-linked adult(s) in the program once a vacancy opens in the program. The applicant may request a refund of the family parent contributions payment but the child-linked adult for whom enrollment was requested will be removed from the program waiting list. Persons age 19 and over for whom application is being made who are determined to be eligible will be placed on a waiting list in the following categories:

2. (c) If there is no funding available and the Board estimates that the program will be closed to new enrollment for six (6) consecutive weeks or more for child-linked adults, the program will so notify applicants on behalf of child-linked adults. The program will apply the family parent contributions to the family child contributions for that household unless the applicant request a refund of the family parent contributions. The program shall refund the applicant's family parent contributions if there is no subscriber child in the household. When funds become available, the program will notify these applicants that the program is opening for new enrollment. To request coverage when the program opens for new enrollment, an applicant who previously applied for enrollment for a child-linked adult when the program was closed to new enrollment for six (6) consecutive weeks or more will be required to submit a new application pursuant to Section 2699.6600.
3. (d) If there is funding available, or there is no funding available for coverage of child-linked adults but the Board estimates that the program will be closed to such new enrollment for less than six (6) consecutive weeks, the application shall be reviewed for completeness pursuant to Section 2699.6606.
