Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
-
Typically a child must also not have had insurance coverage for 30 days before applying; however, this requirement is waived if the parent or guardian providing the insurance dies; has terminated employment; can no longer work due to a disability or has a lapse in insurance coverage due to new employment. This requirement is also waived if the employer no longer offers a health insurance benefit, the insurance is not accessible (e.g., coverage is through an HMO in Oregon). Finally, this requirement is waived if the coverage is for a specific illness or body part (e.g., cancer policy, vision, dental), specific to school-related activities (i.e. a student accidental plan), was provided by Indian Health Services, Tribal Health, or Medicaid or under COBRA, or if the coverage met the affordability exemption.
-
Children who are dependents of employees who are eligible to receive health insurance benefits under Wyoming’s Employees’ Group Insurance (whether state employees or employees of Natrona County School District, University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges) are not eligible for Kid Care CHIP.
