Five states to keep eligible children and adults enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP
The Biden-Harris Administration recently announced the approval of five state plans that will allow eligible children and adults to stay enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) without having to go through a redetermination process during the public health emergency (PHE).
States that have been approved
The five states that have been approved for these plans are California, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York.
What this change means
This change means that eligible children and adults in these states will not have to worry about losing their health insurance coverage during the PHE. They will be able to continue to receive the health care they need without having to go through a redetermination process.
Importance of maintaining health insurance coverage
Maintaining health insurance coverage is important for everyone, but especially for children and adults with low incomes. Health insurance helps to ensure that people can get the care they need to stay healthy, and it can help to prevent financial hardship.
Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to health care
The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable health care. This approval of five state plans is a step in that direction. These plans will help to ensure that eligible children and adults in these states have the health care coverage they need to stay healthy.
