Authorizing Benefits with a Temporary Unemployment Plan

 

KEES does not allow Working Healthy coverage for individuals who do not meet earned income requirements; however, an individual may receive Working Healthy for up to 4 months if the user authorizes a Temporary Unemployment Plan.  This coverage would only be set up on a consumer who had originally been receiving Working Healthy benefits in those situations.
