Note: * = costs or savings of less than $50 million or fewer than 50,000 enrollees;

a. Title XXI of the Social Security Act authorizes CHIP through September 2015. Consistent with statutory guidelines, CBO assumes in its baseline spending
projections that funding for the program in later years will continue at $5.7 billion.

b. These figures represent the number of beneficiaries who are enrolled on an average monthly basis in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, but do not include
enrollment in the U.S. territories. Previously, CBO had reported enrollment and per-capita cost estimates based on the total number of individuals enrolled in CHIP at
any time during the year. That amount is now shown in the memorandum line. Enrollment is lower between 2016 and 2019 because the federal medical assistance
percentage for CHIP increases by 23 percentage points, reducing the number of enrollees who can be covered by the amount of federal CHIP funding assumed in the
baseline.

c. Average federal spending on benefit payments per child enrollee reflects a 23 percentage-point increase in the federal medical assistance percentage, beginning in
fiscal year 2016 and continuing through 2019.
