The Connecting Kids to Coverage HEALTHY KIDS Program is offering cooperative agreements to enhance child health insurance enrollment and retention. This grant aims to reduce the number of children eligible for, but not enrolled in, vital programs like Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Another key purpose is to improve retention rates for children already enrolled in these health coverage initiatives. Authorized by the Social Security Act and extended by the HEALTHY KIDS and ACCESS Acts, this funding supports expanded outreach and enrollment efforts. The initiative seeks to ensure more vulnerable youth receive essential healthcare coverage by bridging current coverage gaps.
