(a) If the spouse of an Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC IP approved individual is eligible for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC ESI, they must apply for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC ESI.  Spouses cannot obtain Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC IP coverage if they are eligible for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC ESI.

(b) The employed or self-employed spouse of an approved applicant must meet the guidelines listed in OAC 317:45-11-20(a) through (g) to be eligible for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC IP.

(c) The dependent of an applicant approved according to the guidelines listed in OAC 317:45-11-20(h) does not become automatically eligible for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC IP.

(d) The applicant and the dependents' eligibility are tied together.  If the applicant no longer meets the requirements for Insure Oklahoma/O-EPIC IP, then the associated dependent enrolled under that applicant is also ineligible.
