I attest that I have already paid the application fee to another state's Medicaid program or CHIP program, and I have been approved for enrollment in another state's Medicaid program or CHIP program.

I am requesting an application fee waiver due to financial hardship. My documentation that supports my request is attached to this application.

(If you select this option, you must submit a letter (and supporting documentation) with your enrollment application that details the reason(s) you are unable to pay an application fee.

The supporting documentation may include but is not limited to historical cost reports, recent financial reports such as balance sheets and income statements, cash flow statements, tax returns, etc.

Texas Medicaid does not accept hardship waivers from other state Medicaid programs. Hardship waivers will require state & federal approval of the supporting documentation. If the waiver request is denied, you must submit an application fee if you wish to proceed with the Texas Medicaid enrollment process.)
