Additionally, through this SPA the state provides 12 months of continuous eligibility (CE) coverage to individuals enrolled in its separate CHIP, pursuant to section 5112 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (CAA, 2023). Furthermore, the state confirms they no longer disenroll children from coverage due to late premium payments during or at the end of the CE period.
