Separate CHIP Enrollment by Month and State – Historic CAA/Unwinding Period

Description

This historic dataset with total enrollment in separate CHIP programs by month and state was created to fulfill reporting requirements under section 1902(tt)(1) of the Social Security Act, which was added by section 5131(b) of subtitle D of title V of division FF of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) (CAA, 2023). For each month from April 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, states were required to submit to CMS (on a timely basis), and CMS was required to make public, certain monthly data, including the total number of beneficiaries who were enrolled in a separate CHIP program. Accordingly, this historic dataset contains separate CHIP enrollment by month and state between April 2023 and June 2024.

CMS will continue to publicly report separate CHIP enrollment by month and state (beyond the historic CAA/Unwinding period) in a new dataset, which is available at [link]. Please note that the methods used to count separate CHIP enrollees differ slightly between the two datasets; as a result, data users should exercise caution if comparing separate CHIP enrollment across the two datasets.

Sources: T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF) and state-submitted enrollment totals. The data notes indicate when a state’s monthly total was a state-submitted value, rather than from T-MSIS.

TAF data were pulled as follows:
April 2023 enrollment - TAF as of August 2023
May 2023 enrollment - TAF as of August 2023
June 2023 enrollment - TAF as of September 2023
July 2023 enrollment - TAF as of October 2023
August 2023 enrollment - TAF as of November 2023
September 2023 enrollment - TAF as of December 2023
October 2023 enrollment - TAF as of January 2024
November 2023 enrollment - TAF as of February 2024
December 2023 enrollment - TAF as of March 2024
January 2024 enrollment - TAF as of April 2024
February 2024 enrollment - TAF as of May 2024
March 2024 enrollment - TAF as of June 2024
April 2024 enrollment – TAF as of July 2024
May 2024 enrollment – TAF as of August 2024
June 2024 enrollment – TAF as of September 2024

TAF are produced one month after the T-MSIS submission month. For example, TAF as of August 2023 is based on July T-MSIS submissions.

Notes: The separate CHIP enrollment in this report is not inclusive of enrollees covered by Medicaid expansion CHIP. Enrollment includes individuals enrolled in separate CHIP at any point during the month but excludes those enrolled in both Medicaid and separate CHIP during the month. See the Data Sources and Metrics Definitions Overview document for a full description of the data sources, metric definitions, and general data limitations.

Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming do not have separate CHIP Programs. Maryland has a separate CHIP program that began in July 2023; April 2023 - June 2023 data for Maryland represents retroactive coverage.

This document includes separate CHIP data submitted to CMS by states via T-MSIS or a separate collection form. These data include reporting metrics consistent with section 1902(tt)(1) of the Social Security Act.
