چکیده
On Feb. 4, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). The state children's health insurance program ("CHIP") provides health insurance for children whose families cannot afford private healthcare but do not qualify for federal Medicaid. CHIPRA expanded CHIP by providing additional special enrollment rights related to group health plan coverage. CHIPRA also permits states to offer eligible low-income children and their families a premium assistance subsidy to help pay for employer-sponsored group health coverage, and imposes new notice and disclosure obligations for employers that maintain group health plans.
