The Children’s Health Insurance Program is likely to be funded for six years after the Senate passed a short-term deal to fund the government.
The short-term deal to fund the government through Feb. 8 and end a three-day shutdown includes a six-year reauthorization of CHIP. It passed the Senate on Monday and is heading to the House, where it is also expected to pass and go to President Trump, who is expected to sign it.
