Bill information
Summary
To amend titles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act to provide for 12-month continuous enrollment of individuals under the Medicaid program and Children's Health Insurance Program.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how Medicaid and CHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program) work by guaranteeing 12 months of continuous health coverage without interruption. Medicaid provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families, while CHIP covers children in families earning too much for Medicaid but not enough for private insurance. Currently, people can lose coverage if their income changes or if they miss paperwork deadlines during the year. The bill would keep people enrolled for a full year even if their circumstances change. The bill has been introduced in Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for review.
