The state extends the CHIP renewal grace period from its current 30 days to 60 days for the period of one year (August 1, 2014 July 31, 2015) to allow families additional time to provide the state with requested documentation when the state cannot make a redetermination of eligibility based on information in the beneficiary's account and electronic data matching fails. By allowing this additional time to provide the requested documentation, the state seeks to minimize the numb r of children who lose coverage due to non-compliance with the renewal process.
