SAS Name
CHIP_CD_08
A code used to distinguish among Medicaid, Medicaid Expansion, and Separate CHIP populations, in a month. There are separate variables for each of the 12 months during the year.
| Code | Code value |
|---|---|
| 0 | Individual was not Medicaid-eligible and not eligible for separate CHIP for the month |
| 1 | Individual was Medicaid-eligible, but was not included in either Medicaid Expansion CHIP or a separate Title XXI CHIP for the month. These include blind and disabled people and low-income families with dependent children. |
| 2 | Individual was included in Medicaid Expansion CHIP and subject to enhanced federal matching for the month. States with Medicaid-Expansion programs have built upon existing Medicaid programs to include low-income children whose family incomes are above Medicaid income eligibility thresholds. |
| 3 | Individual was not Medicaid Expansion CHIP-eligible, but was included in a separate Title XXI CHIP for the month. States using Separate CHIP have used CHIP funds to create separate programs outside of their Medicaid programs. |
| 4 | Individual was both Medicaid-eligible and Separate CHIP eligible during the same month |
| Null/missing | source value is missing or unknown |
This is a key variable in identifying commonly analyzed Medicaid and CHIP populations.
