Summary:
The State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) offers federal matching funds for states and territories to provide health insurance to uninsured, low-income children in families whose annual incomes are too high to qualify for Medicaid. SCHIP financing issues are being addressed by the 108th Congress because states with unspent funds from the FY1998 and FY1999 reallocations are interested in recouping those expired amounts and want to make sure that other unspent amounts from subsequent years remain available to their programs.
