West Virginia sets deadline for ending children’s insurance program

Published



West Virginia will end its Children Health Insurance Program by Feb. 28 if Congress doesn’t approve funding for the nationwide program.

The state board that runs CHIP voted Thursday to end the program on that date since Congress has not reached an agreement on funding. Other states are also expected to run out of funding in early 2018, and some estimates show states could run out of funds as early as next month.
