Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of Pennsylvania’s Children’s Health Insurance Program – but without congressional action, it could be the last.
Little Cause for Celebration: CHIP Families Could Get Termination Notices as Program Turns 25
The Pennsylvania Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) turns 25 tomorrow but instead of celebrating, families of the more than 178,000 children currently enrolled face uncertainty and possible termination of coverage notices if Congress fails to extend funding that expired on September 30th.
Pennsylvania’s Children’s Health Insurance Program turns 25 this week, but it faces financial troubles
Pennsylvania’s Children’s Health Insurance Program will mark a major milestone on Saturday — its 25th anniversary.
But instead of celebrations, the day will be marked by uncertainty about the program’s future.
Congressional failure to fund CHIP is bringing it down to the line in Pennsylvania
Teresa Miller, acting secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services, is walking a tightrope this holiday season.
Funding for CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program that covers 178,000 children statewide — roughly 10,000 of them in Lancaster County — is running out and the program will have to shut down about the end of January 2018 unless Congress acts.
She wants to give families at least 30 days notice if that happens.
