## Summary

**Extends 12-month continuous Medicaid and CHIP enrollment to all enrollees.** This bill would expand a current children-only rule so any individual on Medicaid or CHIP keeps coverage for a full 12 months rather than facing more frequent renewals. - Households with low incomes would face fewer coverage interruptions and less churn because continuous eligibility would apply beyond children. - Adults and other currently covered individuals would get the same 12-month stability that children have today, reducing the chance of short-term gaps in coverage. - The change would take effect on the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning on or after December 31, 2026.
