Will children enrolled in CHIP as of March 23, 2010 who become eligible for Medicaid

Yes. 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), regardless of whether those children are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. This includes children who previously qualified for CHIP in a separate program and children whose family incomes are up to 133 percent of the Federal poverty level, and therefore will be newly eligible for Medicaid in 2014.
