(a) As a condition of eligibility for CHIP, at least one (1) of the following individuals must agree to pay the cost-sharing required by the office under this title: (1) The parent, guardian, or caretaker of an applicant. (2) The applicant, if the applicant is either: (A) eighteen (18) years of age and not living with a parent, guardian, or caretaker; or (B) married and living with his or her spouse. (b) If the individual who agrees to pay cost-sharing for an applicant under this section has failed to pay the required premiums due for any member at any time, the individual must pay all premiums due before an applicant for whom that individual has cost-sharing responsibility may enroll in the program. An applicant living with an individual who has not failed to pay any past due premiums may be enrolled even though his or her prior parent, guardian, or caretaker failed to pay.
