    Summary

    The Connecting Kids to Coverage HEALTHY KIDS American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) 2020 Outreach and Enrollment Cooperative Agreements program provides funding opportunities to increase the enrollment and retention of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) children who are eligible for, but not enrolled in, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).


    These grants will support innovative outreach strategies aimed at increasing the enrollment and retention of eligible AI/AN children in Medicaid and CHIP, emphasizing activities tailored to communities where AI/AN children and families reside, and enlisting tribal and other community leaders and tribal health and social services programs that serve eligible AI/AN children and families.

     

    History of Funding

    None is available.

    Additional Information

    Grants awarded under the cooperative agreement will fund activities/strategies aimed at educating families about the availability of free or low-cost health coverage under Medicaid and CHIP, identifying children likely to be eligible for these programs, and assisting families, including parents, to apply for coverage. Funds will also support efforts to assist families with the annual renewal process.


    Outreach must be targeted to settings where eligible AI/AN children may be easily identified and their families assisted with the application and renewal process. Applicants are encouraged to consider any of the following outreach strategies (See Appendix A for more detailed information):

    • Partnering with tribal programs that work with children and families;
    • Engaging schools and other programs serving young people in outreach, enrollment and retention activities;
    • Establishing and developing application assistance resources to provide high quality, reliable Medicaid/CHIP enrollment and renewal services in local and tribal communities; and
    • Using parent mentors to assist families with enrolling in Medicaid and CHIP, retaining coverage and finding resources for addressing social determinants of health.
