Updated: HHSC receives assurance of federal funding to keep CHIP running through February
Speaker Straus, who had sounded the alarm, says “the need for Congress to act quickly has not diminished”; Sen. Cornyn promises a vote next week
The
federal government has come through with stop-gap funding that will carry CHIP
in Texas, and other states, through the end of February.
That’s
not a full solution, but it’s a start for those who have been agitating for
some resolution of the $90 million gap that existed in funding the children’s
health insurance program. The Health and Human Services Commission
provided an update this afternoon by email.
