H.R. 4028 — Stabilize Medicaid and CHIP Coverage Act

This section expands the requirement for 12-month continuous eligibility under Medicaid and CHIP—previously limited to children under age 19—to all individuals enrolled in those programs. (As background, continuous eligibility prohibits states from terminating coverage based on changes in a household's financial circumstances during the 12-month period, except for reasons such as an individual ceasing to be a state resident, becoming incarcerated, or requesting a voluntary withdrawal; the amendments take effect on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning on or after one year after enactment.)
