CHIP spending in the U.S. FY 2021, by state

In fiscal year 2021, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) spent a total of about 20.9 billion U.S. dollars, of which 15.8 billion U.S. dollars were federal-funded and 5.1 billion U.S. dollars were state-funded. California had, as expected the highest spending and also the largest number of children enrolled in CHIP/Medicaid. The federal government matches spending for both Medicaid and CHIP, but has a higher match rate for CHIP than traditional Medicaid. The Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) varies by state depending on the state's per capita income compared to the national average. This statistic illustrates CHIP spending in the United States in FY 2021, by state and state & federal share.
