Adding Non-Applicants as Applicants or Filing Independently

If you are currently not listed as an applicant on a case but wish to become one, you have two primary options:

1. Existing Case (Becoming an Applicant):

Process:

• You’d want to contact the agency who manages the case you’re a non applicant on
• Inform them that you would like to become an applicant 
• Provide income ( if you have any) 
• Clarify relations with those on the existing case, regarding filing status. 

2. Filing Independently (No Existing Applicant Relationship):

• If you are non applicant and are filing independently:
  • You may initiate a new case as the primary applicant if you wish not to be added as an applicant on the existing case 

Process:

• Prepare the necessary documentation and forms as required to complete application process either online on MNsure.org or paper application

• Provide income since MNsure does go based off income limit

• Submit your application according to income limit guidelines and eligibility to the right agency if not completed online.
