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 extends 12-month continuous enrollment protections to all individuals covered by Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), removing current limitations that restrict this benefit primarily to children under age 19. Under continuous enrollment, individuals remain covered for a minimum of 12 months even if their income or circumstances change, reducing gaps in health insurance coverage. The bill amends the Social Security Act to apply the same enrollment stability to all Medicaid and CHIP enrollees, not just children. This change would take effect on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning on or after December 31, 2026. The provision aims to maintain continuous health insurance coverage for low-income individuals and families during the year.
