State Medicaid and CHIP Eligibility Verification Plans

Due to the ACA’s new eligibility verification rules, states have developed plans outlining Medicaid and CHIP eligibility verification procedures. This chart highlights key elements from states’ verification plans, such as which eligibility factors are verified through electronic data and the specific data sources states are using, as well as whether self-attestation is accepted for some eligibility factors. The chart also contains information about how states will determine reasonable compatibility, which is how they will resolve issues if there are discrepancies between electronic data sources and information provided by applicants.
