Continuous Eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP Coverage

Published by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: August 08, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-12-20
States have the option to provide children with 12 months of continuous coverage through Medicaid and CHIP, even if the family experiences a change in income during the year. Continuous eligibility is a valuable tool that helps States ensure that children stay enrolled in the health coverage for which they are eligible and have consistent access to needed health care services.
