CHIP & Medicaid for kids and pregnant women

• Medicaid (kids): free or near-free, federal/state co-funded. Income limits generally 138–266% FPL depending on state and child's age.
• CHIP: for kids in households above Medicaid limits, typically up to 200–400% FPL. May charge small premiums or copays.
• Some states run a separate CHIP program; others fold CHIP into expanded Medicaid (combined structure).
• Pregnant Medicaid: most states cover pregnancy from 138% FPL up to 200–300% FPL or more, often through 12 months postpartum.
