Officials from many states expect a negative effect on previous efforts to simplify enrollment using mail-in, fax or telephone applications (26 states) and Web-based or other paperless applications (14 states). While most officials indicated that DRA citizenship documentation requirements would increase the complexity of their processes, fewer Medicaid and combination Medicaid/SCHIP officials (56%) expect that these requirements will reduce the number of children and families enrolled in their programs. A smaller percentage of SCHIP and combination Medicaid/SCHIP officials (33%) expect a negative effect on SCHIP enrollment. Just over half (52%) of of...

This report examines trends in Medicaid and SCHIP enrollment in Oregon between 1999 and 2004, during which time CFK was in operation. In 1999, Oregon entered a budget crisis situation and by the end of 2001 the state had the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 7.5 percent.
