State CHIP

A special limited open enrollment for State CHIP will begin on May 1, 2025.

The state of Utah offers CHIP benefits for non-citizen children called State CHIP. Children of working families may be eligible if they do not have other health insurance and cannot qualify for Medicaid or the traditional CHIP program due to citizenship status.

The goal of State CHIP is to reduce confusion and fear that may keep the children of immigrant families from accessing critical medical, dental, and mental health services. Receiving State CHIP benefits is not subject to public charge and will not affect immigration or citizenship status. 

Updated enrollment data is coming soon.  With the available funding, we estimate the program will be able to cover up to 2,000 children.
