## Summary

**Expands 12-month continuous enrollment to all Medicaid and CHIP enrollees.** This bill would change the Social Security Act so the continuous-enrollment rule that now targets children applies to every individual eligible for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. - People on Medicaid and CHIP would get at least 12 months of continuous coverage, broadening the current child-only protection to adults, seniors, and families. - Program rules would be rewritten to replace child-specific language with "individual," applying the same continuity standard across Medicaid and CHIP. - The change would take effect on the first day of the first fiscal quarter that begins at least one year after enactment and the text does not create new funding mechanisms or new program authorities.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Year-long Medicaid and CHIP coverage for all: benefit, high. If enacted, people on Medicaid or CHIP would keep coverage for 12 months in a row. This would remove the under‑19 limit in Medicaid and extend the rule to adults. It would also apply the same 12‑month rule to individuals in CHIP, not only children. This could help prevent mid‑year loss of coverage…
