Reaching out to connections after application opens

Exactly what the title says. I haven't reached out to a connection since this summer, approximately 90 days ago, but the applications to the bank they work at have just opened. We've only spoken once over the phone. Would it be wrong to ask to hop on a call and discuss the internship and hint and nudge at a referral? How should I go about this and what are some key questions to ask?
