Currently, Cuyahoga County provides Medicaid coverage to all children age 0-5 living in households earning up to 133% of the federal poverty threshold and children age 6-14 in families earning up to 100% of the federal poverty baseline. Beginning January 1, 1998, the State of Ohio will increase the income threshold for all children age 0-18 to 150% of poverty. A newly-created federal program, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), further expands the eligibility option to children living with families earning less than 200% of poverty. Using data from the 1990 Census, this paper estimates the number of Cuyahoga County children eligible for Medicaid under various income scenarios and by geographic areas.
