Data as of January 2009.

Challenges of Providing Health Coverage for Children and Parents in a Recession: A 50 State Update on Eligibility Rules, Enrollment and Renewal Procedures, and Cost-Sharing Practices in Medicaid and SCHIP in 2009. Data based on a national survey conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities for the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, January 2009. Available at http://www.kff.org/medicaid/7855.cfm. 2008 HHS Poverty Guidelines: http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/06poverty.shtml.

Footnotes: 
  1. Connecticut has a presumptive-like eligibility process for pregnant women, known as expedited eligibility. The state expanded eligibility for pregnant women from 185 percent to 250 percent of the federal poverty line in January 2008.
  2. Indiana plans on implementing presumptive eligibility for pregnant women in the summer of 2009.
  3. Louisiana eliminated presumptive eligibility in 2007 because they have an expedited enrollment process. The state can enroll a pregnant woman in 3 calendar days.
  4. Maryland does not have a presumptive eligibility process but does have section 1115 waiver authority to operate an Accelerated Certification of Eligibility process that provides for accelerated enrollment in coverage for pregnant women who appear eligible based on preliminary income determination.
  5. In Pennsylvania, presumptive eligibility is available in most of the state; however, an alternate expedited procedure is being piloted in Philadelphia and four surrounding counties.
