Note: To check eligibility results, look in each benefit box to see the determination after clicking the Check Eligibility button.

Disclaimer: Please note that the CHIP eligibility calculation provided on this webpage does not utilize MAGI (Modified Adjusted Gross Income) tables, which can be significantly more complex and vary based on your child's specific age. It is important to understand that CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) operates with a higher Federal Poverty Level (FPL), thereby extending eligibility to a broader income bracket. For the most accurate eligibility information regarding your specific situation, please check with CHIP directly rather than relying on this calculator.
