You may find out if your grandkids are qualified for CHIP or Medicaid and apply for them here: Navigate to Benefits QuickLINK and complete a series of questions. You'll get a report that tells you which programs your kid is qualified for and provides you to the documents you'll need to apply for them. Here are the requirements to be eligible for CHIP: You must be applying for CHIP through Nebraska's Automated Benefits Enrollment System (ABES). If you know your child was denied CHIP benefits in the past, you will need to submit evidence of his or her eligibility. This could be a copy of a recent birth certificate, Social Security card, or passport showing his or her name change. Eligibility for Medicaid varies by state but most states require you to meet certain financial requirements to be eligible for Medicaid. Some states also require you to be uninsured for some period of time before you can be approved. Other factors such as age, health conditions, and income may also affect your approval for Medicaid. Your child's doctor may be able to provide information about any medical conditions that would make him or her ineligible for Medicaid. If you're not sure if your grandchild is eligible for these programs, it's best to ask your kid's doctor or nurse. They should be able to give you detailed information about what diseases or conditions prevent your kid from being approved for these programs.
