What it does
The Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act would amend federal law to require 12-month continuous enrollment for individuals in both Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), eliminating periodic eligibility checks that can cause gaps in coverage. It applies to all individuals enrolled in these programs, regardless of age, by removing age-based restrictions and updating terminology to refer broadly to “individuals” instead of “children.” The changes would take effect starting the first fiscal quarter beginning on or after December 31, 2026, aiming to improve coverage stability and reduce administrative churn.
