Inscripción Medicaid and CHIP Renewal The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced new flexibilities to help keep Americans covered as states resume Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) renewals. These flexibilities were spelled out in a letter to governors, urging them to minimize avoidable coverage losses among children and families. “Nobody who is eligible for Medicaid or CHIP should lose coverage simply because they changed addresses, didn’t receive a form, or didn’t have enough information about the renewal process,” emphasized HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.

Additionally, the Department’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), Office of Safe & Supportive Schools Technical Assistance Centers released a series of fact sheets on how school leaders and members of school communities can support students' social, emotional, behavioral, and academic well-being and success.
