The
State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
provides health-insurance to low income children who do
not qualify for Medicaid
and have no health insurance. Many uninsured, low income
children are eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP, but do not know
it.

Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). FNS will be accepting

Report to the
President on school-based
outreach for SCHIP. |
|
FNS can assist in outreach efforts to
increase enrollment in Medicaid and SCHIP
because many eligible children participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs
or the Child and Adult Care Food Program. |
