Questions and Answers
The federal government and the states together offer health insurance coverage for children through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). These programs serve families who are not able to afford health insurance coverage in the private market or do not have coverage available to them.
Every state's program is unique and has individual income eligibility rules and benefits covered, but in general, children in families with incomes up to $44,100 per year (for a family of four) are likely to be eligible for coverage. Use the INSUREKIDSNOW..GOV MAP to find state-specific information about Medicaid and CHIP programs.
