This legislation, known as the "Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act," seeks to expand the provision of 12-month continuous enrollment under both the Medicaid program (Title XIX) and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (Title XXI) of the Social Security Act. Currently, continuous enrollment is primarily limited to children, but this bill aims to remove that age restriction. Specifically, the bill amends sections 1902(e)(12) and 2107(e)(1)(K) of the Social Security Act to eliminate language that restricts continuous enrollment to individuals under the age of 19 or to "targeted low-income children." By striking these specific phrases, the legislation ensures that all eligible individuals, regardless of age, can benefit from 12 months of uninterrupted coverage. These amendments are slated to take effect on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning on or after December 31, 2026.
