If a child has access to a parent’s employer-sponsored insurance, but the family declined the coverage because it was too expensive, is the child eligible for CoverKids?
Yes. Access to coverage is not a factor in CoverKids eligibility. If all other eligibility criteria are met, it is simply a matter of whether the child is insured or uninsured. The exception is state employee insurance. Federal guidelines do not allow children with access to state employee health insurance to participate in CoverKids.
