R. 1 WILL HARM CHILDREN NOWAND  \nFAR INTO THE FUTURE   \nThe recent passage of H.R. 1 by a partisan Congress chooses billionaires over babies, and puts children in unprecedented peril. Here are some of the many ways that H.R. 1 will hurt children in the U.S. and even around the world in the very near term and in the years to come:  \nCuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and CHIP: Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provide health insurance to over 37 million children in the United States and Medicaid covers over 40% of births. H. R. 1 includes the largest funding cuts to these programs in their history, jeopardizing children’s access to quality, affordable health care coverage.  \n• Retroactive Coverage: Currently, eligible individuals can have their medical expenses from up to three months before their application date paid by Medicaid, as long as they met the program’s requirements during that time. H.R. 1 reduces this coverage to 60 days for children and pregnant women (and 30 days for expansion adults), making families worry about paperwork and costly medical bills rather than their child’s health.  \n• Provider Taxes/State Directed Payments: States use these mechanisms to fund their Medicaid programs and support health care providers, especially those that serve children including pediatricians, children’s hospitals, and rural hospitals. H.R. 1 restrictions on these mechanisms will force states to reduce support for pediatric health care providers and even cut eligibility and benefits.  \n• Work Requirements: When parents/caretakers have coverage, kids are more likely  \nto have coverage and to access routine health care. H.R. 1 imposes work reporting requirements, jeopardizing parent/caretaker coverage and threatening household financial security for children. While the law provides an exemption for parents of children under the age of 13, past experiments with work requirements have shown that the administrative burdens of navigating the reporting process leads to massive coverage loss.  \n• Immigrant Eligibility: Medicaid is already restricted to people who hold certain immigration statuses. H. R. 1 further restricts immigrant eligibility to only 1): Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs; “Green Card Holders”); 2) Cuban and Haitian entrants; and  \n3) Compact of Free Association (COFA) migrants. States still retain the option to provide coverage to lawfully residing immigrant children and pregnant women. However, the new eligibility restrictions will impact refugees, asylees, and survivors of domestic violence and trafficking.  \nDefunds the main child anti-hunger program: One-in-five children experiences food insecurity. This bill endangers food assistance by cutting close to $200 billion of federal funding from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) . H. R. 1 changes the funding structure of  \nFIRST FOCUS ON CHILDREN | HOW H.R. 1 WILL HARM CHILDREN NOWAND FAR INTO THE FUTURE ISSUE BRIEF | JULY 2025 1  \nISSUE BRIEF:  \nHOW H. R. 1 WILL HARM CHILDREN NOWAND  \nFAR INTO THE FUTURE   \nthe program to place a larger burden of the cost on states. States will now be required to cover 75% of administrative costs, as well as will likely be forced to contribute to the cost of benefits for the first time. A state’s responsibility for the benefit cost is dependent on its error rate, with only states receiving under a 6% error rate exempt from contributing to the benefit cost. In 2024, only 9 states/territories met that error rate threshold. How each state chooses to respond to new financial restraints remains to be seen, but due to the magnitude of these costs it is expected some states will be forced to limit enrollment or withdraw from the program. This could lead to a reality in which there is large variation in how child nutrition is supported from state to state.  \nThis bill also includes administrative changes that could lessen household access to food. For example, H. R. 1 narrows the ","cbCaiv8IqfRUaB8c","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv8IqfRUaB8c","pdf",190441,"English","# Medicaid and CHIP Cuts\n## Retroactive Coverage\n## Provider Taxes/State Directed Payments\n## Work Requirements\n## Immigrant Eligibility\n# Defunding the Child Anti-Hunger Program (SNAP)\n## Administrative and Eligibility Changes\n# Leaving Children Behind in Tax Policy\n## Child Tax Credit\n## Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit\n## Trump Savings Account Provision\n# Undermining Public Schools\n## Private School Voucher Program","[{\"question\":\"How does H.R. 1 affect Medicaid and CHIP coverage for children?\",\"answer\":\"H.R. 1 proposes the largest historical funding cuts to Medicaid and CHIP, jeopardizing children’s access to affordable health care.
