Will new applicants/children ages 6-18 with incomes between 100 and 133 percent of the FPL with other health insurance qualify for coverage under the Medicaid state plan?

Yes. Under the Medicaid mandatory group for poverty-level related children under section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VII) of the Act, insured children must be covered in addition to uninsured children (please also see applicable match rate questions below). This is different from the rules governing a separate CHIP program, which preclude coverage for insured children.
