The Children's Health Insurance Program Permanency Act, or CHIPP Act, aims to permanently extend the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It achieves this by amending the Social Security Act to provide such sums as are necessary to fund state allotments for CHIP for fiscal year 2029 and all subsequent years, effectively removing previous expiration dates for the program's funding. Beyond CHIP's core funding, the bill also makes permanent several other crucial health programs and provisions. These include the Pediatric Quality Measures Program , which will receive inflation-adjusted funding annually, and the Express Lane Eligibility option , which simplifies enrollment processes. Other permanently extended provisions cover the Assurance of Affordability Standard for children and families, the Qualifying States Option, and the Outreach and Enrollment Program, ensuring continuous support for child health services. Furthermore, the legislation permanently extends the Child Enrollment Contingency Fund, which helps states manage unexpected increases in CHIP enrollment. A significant new provision allows states, at their discretion, to increase the maximum income level for children to qualify for Medicaid and CHIP. This provides states with greater flexibility to expand health coverage to more children and families.
