Texas Impact is partnering with the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to train people of faith on how to enroll children in Children’s Medicaid and CHIP.
Children’s Medicaid is a federal program that provides free health coverage to children in families with incomes at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). CHIP is a federal-state program that provides low-cost health insurance to children in working families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but less than 200% FPL. Both programs provide medical, dental, vision, and mental health benefits, as well as immunizations, prescriptions, medical supplies, and more. CHIP also provides prenatal care for pregnant women.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO HELP WITH ENROLLMENT
CHIP and Medicaid program staff people will come to your area to train volunteers so they can help families enroll in CHIP and Medicaid. Each training session lasts approximately 3 hours and must a have a minimum of 8 participants.
For more information on how to set up a training in your congregation, please contact Emily Shelton at Texas Impact at (512) 472-3903 or emily@texasimpact.org.
