## Text

A. This chapter governs the determination of eligibility for the separate Children’s Health Insurance Program (separate CHIP) and the CHIP Health Services Initiative with an income standard based on the modified adjusted gross income methodology specified in the Affordable Care Act of 2010, effective January 1, 2014.
B. Eligibility for the separate CHIP Program may be established for a targeted low-income child from conception to birth when the birthing parent would qualify for Medicaid but for their immigration status, when the family income is equal to or less than 250 percent of the federal poverty level.
C. Eligibility for the CHIP Health Services Initiative for the birthing parent of a targeted low-income child may be established beginning on the first day of the month following the end of the pregnancy and ending on the last day of the fourth month after the pregnancy ends if the targeted low-income child applied for the separate CHIP Program on or before the day prior to their birth and was subsequently found eligible for the separate CHIP Program.
