Renewal of CHIP coverage must occur at the end of the 12th month of the continuous eligibility period known as the renewal due date (RDD). If a new child has become part of the tax household since the time of application or last renewal (e.g., birth of a child, reuniting with the family, adoption), the family will be offered the opportunity to apply for benefits for the child. If the CHIP renewal is not processed by the RDD, eCIS will systematically close the CHIP budgets.
Renewals may be initiated in one of the following methods:
1. By completing an online renewal through COMPASS and submitting all required documentation and a signature page, if required.
2. By completing a telephonic renewal.
3. By returning the completed paper renewal form and submitting all required documentation.
