Application

If the MAGI-based income for the child is below the applicable poverty-level income limits for Child Medicaid, the child is Medicaid eligible. Complete the eligibility decision and notify the family.

If the MAGI-based income for the child is above the applicable poverty-level income limits for Child Medicaid, and not over the income limit for CHIP, determine eligibility for CHIP.

If the household income shows that the child could be eligible for a Medicaid program that will require a spenddown of excess income, or MWI premium, determine their eligibility for CHIP.
