Through Mississippi Health Benefits there are two health insurance options that cover children, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Medicaid.

The income limits are based on Modified Adjusted Gross Income or MAGI limits. The limits are referred to as MAGI because the programs using MAGI limits are based primarily on IRS rules for counting income and determining household composition.

Who is eligible for CHIP?

CHIP provides health coverage for uninsured children up to age 19 years old. To be eligible for CHIP, a child cannot be eligible for Medicaid. At the time of application, children with health insurance are not eligible for CHIP.

Income Limits for Medicaid and CHIP Programs

Effective March 1, 2014, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules for Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) are used to determine a household’s income compared to the limits shown below based on household size. No deductions other than those allowed by IRS rules are used, other than a 5% disregard based on the federal poverty level (FPL) that is applied when needed to allow eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP.
