HR 4028 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act
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.
Summary
This bill amends the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to expand 12-month continuous enrollment protections to all individuals, not just children under age 19. Currently, the 12-month continuous enrollment policy ensures eligible children maintain coverage for a full year without losing it due to administrative changes. The bill removes the age restriction, extending this same protection to all Medicaid and CHIP enrollees. The changes would take effect one year after the bill is enacted.
