The performance bonus payments, which are funded under the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, are awarded to states that surpass a specified Medicaid enrollment target; adopt procedures that improve access to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program; and make it easier for eligible children to enroll and retain coverage.
Performance bonuses are intended to help offset costs states incur when they enroll lower income children in Medicaid. The bonuses also give states incentive to adopt long-term improvements in their children’s health insurance programs.
