States have taken advantage of the new tools and added federal support notwithstanding the economic downturn and recovery that has taken place over the last several years. CHIPRA offered a wide range of policy and programmatic tools to enable states to move their coverage efforts forward. In addition to providing new federal funding dedicated to outreach and enrollment efforts the law authorized several new policy options - like Express Lane Eligibility coverage of pregnant women in CHIP deeming all newborns whose mothers are covered by Medicaid or CHIP to be eligible for coverage without need for an application and removing the 5-year waiting period for legal immigrant children and pregnant women to enroll in Medicaid and CHIP. All of these tools have enhanced states ability to improve access and boost enrollment. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has continued to stress the importance of ongoing outreach efforts and simplification strategies through the Connecting Kids to Coverage Challenge calling upon leaders at all levels of government and the private sector to find and enroll all uninsured children who are eligible for Medicaid and CHIP and keep them covered for as long as they qualify.
