Description
|
Adjusts funding for the Commonwealth's Medicaid Children's Health Insurance program. This program applies to children between the ages of 6 through 19 with family income from 100 to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to an expected increase in enrollment related to efforts to enroll individuals in federal exchanges as part of the Affordable Care Act. The savings in 2016 is primarily a result of a reduction in the state match for the Children's Health Insurance program grant, from 35 percent to 12 percent pursuant to the Affordable Care Act. This change in the match rate is effective September 1, 2015. |
