To Our Valued Clients
The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 is a new piece of legislation signed into law.
Attached is our Legislative Brief which outlines the new provisions and provides information regarding the law for 2009. We will continue to be a resource for you.
Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009
On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (the "Act"). The state children's health insurance program ("CHIP") provides health insurance for children whose
families cannot afford private healthcare but do not qualify for federal Medicaid. The Act expands CHIP by providing additional special enrollment rights related to group health plan coverage. The new law also permits state subsidies
of employer-provided group health premiums for eligible children and families and imposes new notice and disclosure obligations for employers that maintain group health plans.
This issue of the The Partners Group Legislative Brief provides you with an overview of the Act.
