Congress appropriated $40 billion over 10 years (fiscal years 1998 through 2007) for SCHIP. Each state's SCHIP allotment is available as a federal match based on state expenditures. Although the SCHIP statute generally targets children in families with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, 13 states' programs cover children in families above 200 percent of the federal poverty level. This report provides information on (1) enrollment and federal expenditures for SCHIP and estimates of the number of and costs to enroll eligible unenrolled children and income-eligible pregnant women and (2) factors that may influence states' future expenditures for SCHIP and the availability of funding for any program expansion. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-993R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-993R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-993R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-993R.pdf GAO-01-993R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-993R Correspondence GAO-01-993R; Children's Health Insurance: SCHIP Enrollment and Expenditure Information; Health insurance cost control Health insurance Children State-administered programs Statistical data Disadvantaged persons Medicaid Program State Children's Health Insurance Program Public Law 105-33
