Children of families that earn higher incomes may also qualify in some cases.

If your income is higher, your children might get CHIP if the money your family makes is the same or less than the monthly or yearly income shown in the May Qualify For CHIP chart. Children of families that earn higher incomes may also qualify in some cases.
