TL;DR

The Biden-Harris administration has released new data showing the impact of state policy choices on children's enrollment in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). States that have implemented federal strategies and prioritized auto-renewals have been more successful in renewing eligible children's coverage. The data also highlights that failure to expand Medicaid has led to higher disenrollment rates in certain states. The administration has extended federal flexibilities to states until the end of 2024 and called on nine states with the highest child disenrollment rates to adopt additional strategies to protect children's coverage. Secretary Becerra urged these states to remove barriers, reduce call center wait times, and expand Medicaid programs.
