Will states continue to receive the CHIP enhanced FMAP for children currently enrolled in a

Yes. The CHIP enhanced FMAP will continue to be available for children whose income is greater than the Medicaid applicable income level (defined in section 457.301 and based on the 1997 Medicaid income standard for children) after these children transition to Medicaid. This includes children who previously qualified for CHIP in a separate program and uninsured children whose family incomes are up to 133 percent of the Federal poverty level, and therefore will be eligible for Medicaid in 2014. Regular Medicaid matching rates will apply for all other children covered under the mandatory group for children aged 6-18-children with income no more than 100 percent FPL and insured children with income above 100 percent to 133 percent FPL.
