SEC. 1733. REQUIREMENT OF 12-MONTH CONTINUOUS COVERAGE UNDER CERTAIN CHIP PROGRAMS.This seems to apply to a family of two with an annual household income of $29,140 or a family of four with an annual household income of $44,100. Of course, if these people weren't paying effective tax rates of 40-50% they might be able to afford their own health care.
(a) In General- Section 2102(b) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1397bb(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
`(6) REQUIREMENT FOR 12-MONTH CONTINUOUS ELIGIBILITY- In the case of a State child health plan that provides child health assistance under this title through a means other than described in section 2101(a)(2), the plan shall provide for implementation under this title of the 12-month continuous eligibility option described in section 1902(e)(12) for targeted low-income children whose family income is below 200 percent of the poverty line.'.
(b) Effective Date- The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to determinations (and redeterminations) of eligibility made on or after January 1, 2010.
