Status: in_force

Sec. 3.2. (a) This section applies only to a township if the township's township assistance property tax rate (as defined in IC 6-1.1-20.3-6.7(a)) for property taxes first due and payable in 2013 or any year thereafter is more than the result of:

(1) the statewide average township assistance property tax rate (as determined by the department of local government finance) for property taxes first due and payable in the preceding year; multiplied by

(2) twelve (12).

(b) Notwithstanding any other law, beginning with property taxes first due and payable in the year following the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a), the department of local government finance shall do the following in the case of a township subject to this section:

(1) Remove the township assistance property tax levy from the maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy for the township's general fund.

(2) Require the township to separate its township assistance property tax levy into the following two (2) property tax levies:

(A) A township assistance benefits property tax levy.

(B) A township assistance administration property tax levy.

(3) Calculate a separate maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 for each of the township's property tax levies described in subdivision (2).

(d) The initial maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 for a township's township assistance benefits property tax levy for property taxes first due and payable in the year following the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a), is equal to the amount determined in the following STEPS:

STEP ONE: Determine the result of:

(A) the township's township assistance property tax levy for property taxes first due and payable in the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a); minus

(B) the result determined by the department of local government finance for the township under subsection (c).

STEP TWO: Multiply the STEP ONE result by the maximum levy growth quotient under IC 6-1.1-18.5-2 that is applicable to the township for property taxes first due and payable in the year following the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a).

(e) The maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy for the township's general fund shall be adjusted as determined in the following STEPS:

STEP ONE: Multiply:

(A) the township's township assistance property tax levy for property taxes first due and payable in the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a); by

(B) the maximum levy growth quotient under IC 6-1.1-18.5-2 that is applicable to the township for property taxes first due and payable in the year following the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a).

STEP TWO: Subtract the STEP ONE result from the maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy that would otherwise apply for the township's general fund.

The adjustment under this subsection applies beginning with property taxes first due and payable in the year following the year in which this section first applies to the township, as provided in subsection (a).

(f) The property taxes collected from a township's township assistance administration property tax levy:

(1) shall be deposited into a separate fund;

(2) shall be used only for the administration of township assistance within the township; and

(3) shall not be used to pay township assistance to any person.

(g) The property taxes collected from a township's township assistance benefits property tax levy:

(1) shall be deposited into a separate fund;

(2) shall be used only for the purpose of paying township assistance to eligible recipients; and

(3) shall not be used to pay for the administration of township assistance within the township.

(h) Except as provided in this section, references in the Indiana Code to a township assistance property tax levy shall, in the case of a township subject to this section, be considered a reference to the township's township assistance benefits property tax levy and the township's township assistance administration property tax levy.

Eligibility period; renewal; unused share of health care account distribution
Status: in_force

Note: This version of section effective until 1-1-2027. See also following version of this section, effective 1-1-2027.

Sec. 4.9. (a) An individual who is approved to participate in the plan is eligible for a twelve (12) month plan period if the individual continues to meet the plan requirements specified in this chapter.

(b) If an individual chooses to renew participation in the plan, the individual is subject to an annual renewal process at the end of the benefit period to determine continued eligibility for participating in the plan. If the individual does not complete the renewal process, the individual may not reenroll in the plan for at least six (6) months.

(c) This subsection applies to participants who consistently made the required payments in the individual's health care account. If the individual receives the qualified preventative services recommended to the individual during the year, the individual is eligible to have the individual's unused share of the individual's health care account at the end of the plan period, determined by the office, matched by the state and carried over to the subsequent plan period to reduce the individual's required payments. If the individual did not, during the plan period, receive all qualified preventative services recommended to the individual, only the nonstate contribution to the health care account may be used to reduce the individual's payments for the subsequent plan period.

(d) For individuals participating in the plan who, in the past, did not make consistent payments into the individual's health care account while participating in the plan, but:

(1) had a balance remaining in the individual's health care account; and

(2) received all of the required preventative care services;

the office may elect to offer a discount on the individual's required payments to the individual's health care account for the subsequent benefit year. The amount of the discount under this subsection must be related to the percentage of the health care account balance at the end of the plan year but not to exceed a fifty percent (50%) discount of the required contribution.

(e) If an individual is no longer eligible for the plan, does not renew participation in the plan at the end of the plan period, or is terminated from the plan for nonpayment of a required payment, the office shall, not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the last date of the plan benefit period, refund to the individual the amount determined under subsection (f) of any funds remaining in the individual's health care account as follows:

(1) An individual who is no longer eligible for the plan or does not renew participation in the plan at the end of the plan period shall receive the amount determined under STEP FOUR of subsection (f).

(2) An individual who is terminated from the plan due to nonpayment of a required payment shall receive the amount determined under STEP SIX of subsection (f).

The office may charge a penalty for any voluntary withdrawals from the health care account by the individual before the end of the plan benefit year. The individual may receive the amount determined under STEP SIX of subsection (f).
