CBO Cost Estimate: Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009

by on

H.R. 2, Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, January 13, 2009. Cost estimate for the bill as transmitted to CBO by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on January 13, 2009.

  • “The legislation would authorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through fiscal year 2013 and increase federal funding for the program above current levels. The bill would provide performance bonus payments to states for enrollment costs resulting
    from specified enrollment and retention efforts. H.R. 2 would establish a child enrollment contingency fund to cover state CHIP expenditures beyond the amount allotted in statute for the 2009-2013 reauthorization period. The bill also would add an additional state
    option to use CHIP funding to provide a premium assistance subsidy for children enrolled in a qualified health insurance plan, provide additional funding for outreach grants, and improve access to dental benefits and mental health parity in CHIP plans.”
