CHIP
The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a joint federal-state program established to provide coverage to uninsured children in families whose incomes are too high to qualify for Medicaid. In fiscal year (FY) 2022, 8.3 million children received CHIP-funded coverage. Spending in states and territories for FY 2022 totaled $22.3 billion ($16.9 billion federal, $5.4 billion state). Under current law, CHIP allotments are provided through FY 2029. Learn more about CHIP and MACPAC’s analysis of its future.
