Extends health coverage for millions of children and former foster youth on Medicaid and CHIP.
This bill would make it easier for children and former foster youth to keep their health insurance. It would extend how long babies and young children can stay on Medicaid and CHIP without reapplying. It would also ensure former foster youth keep their Medicaid coverage until age 26.
Today, babies are continuously eligible for Medicaid and CHIP for 1 year, and older children (ages 6-18) may get 12 months of continuous Medicaid coverage. This bill would extend continuous eligibility for babies to 6 years of age for both programs and for older children to 24 months under Medicaid. It would also ensure former foster youth keep their Medicaid until age 26, preventing gaps in their health insurance.
