A pregnant woman whose family income exceeds 300 percent of the poverty line may become eligible for coverage under this section if the difference between the pregnant woman's family income and the applicable income limit under sub. (4) (a) is obligated or expended for any member of the pregnant woman's family for medical care or any other type of remedial care recognized under state law or for personal health insurance premiums or for both. Eligibility obtained under this subdivision continues without regard to any change in family income for the balance of the pregnancy and to the last day of the month in which the 60th day after the last day of the woman's pregnancy falls. Eligibility obtained by a pregnant woman under this subdivision extends to all pregnant women in the pregnant woman's family.

(8) (b), or whose family income exceeds 300 percent of the poverty line, may obtain eligibility under this section if the difference between the child's family income and 150 percent of the poverty line is obligated or expended on behalf of the child or any member of the child's family for medical care or any other type of remedial care recognized under state law or for personal health insurance premiums or for both. Eligibility obtained under this subdivision during any 6-month period, as determined by the department, continues for the remainder of the 6-month period and extends to all children in the family.
49.471(7)(b)3. 3. For a pregnant woman to obtain eligibility under subd. 1., the amount that must be obligated or expended in any 6-month period is equal to the sum of the differences in each of those 6 months between the pregnant woman's monthly family income and the monthly family income that is 300 percent of the poverty line. For a child to obtain eligibility under subd. 2., the amount that must be obligated or expended in any 6-month period is equal to the sum of the differences in each of those 6 months between the child's monthly family income and the monthly family income that is 150 percent of the poverty line.

49.471(7)(d)2. 2. When determining the size of a family for purposes of determining income eligibility, exclude from family size an adult whose income is included in a calculation of family income solely under subd. 1.
