The Oregon Children’s Health Insurance Program (OR CHIP) 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 are uninsured or underinsured.

· A child whose family has a household income below 185% of the federal poverty level is eligible for OR CHIP. For a family of 3, this works out to an annual income of about $33,874, or a monthly income of about $2,823.

· 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.
