HIP members will learn their work requirement status by Dec. 10
By Dec. 10, all patients covered by the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) should have received notices in the mail indicating their Gateway to Work status for January 2019. Every HIP member will have one of the following three Gateway to Work statuses:
  • Exempt: "Exempt" means the member is exempt from Gateway to Work and is not required to participate during any month in which he or she continues to have an exemption.
  • Reporting met: "Reporting Met" means the member is not exempt but is already working at least 20 hours per week. These members will not need to do anything new for Gateway to Work unless they report a change in their work status to the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) as required.
  • Reporting: "Reporting" members are required to participate in Gateway to Work. These members will need to report the number of hours they spend doing activities such as working, attending classes, or volunteering each month through the FSSA Benefits Portal or to their health plan (Anthem, CareSource, MDwise, or MHS).
Examples of the notices members will receive can be found at www.in.gov/ fssa/hip/files/GTW_Nov_2018_Notice.pdf. More information about Gateway to Work is available at www.in.gov/fssa/hip/2466. htm. For answers to questions, email fssa. GatewaytoWork@fssa.in.gov.
