The Children’s Health Insurance Program is a state-designed program that provides health coverage to low-income children under the age of 19 who are not eligible for Medicaid and who have limited or no health insurance.

• A child whose family has a household income below 200% of the federal poverty level is eligible for the Children’s Health Insurance Program. For a family of 3, this works out to an annual income of about $34,340, or a monthly income of about $2,862.
• Eligibility is guaranteed for one year unless the child moves from the state, enrolls in Medicaid, is found to have other insurance coverage, or becomes financially ineligible.
• No child is denied eligibility based on disability.
