State Kids Insurance Program (SKIP)
The SKIP program is designed to ensure that state and higher education employees can afford the State’s health insurance for their children. Created in 1999, SKIP pays most of the health insurance premiums of eligible children. If approved, you will get one of two levels of SKIP subsidy. The supplement will pay for premiums for children covered by your insurance. The SKIP supplement is available if you:
*Meet eligibility criteria according to family income and size;
*Have children eligible for state insurance under the age of 19 living with you in Texas;
*Are not eligible for Medicaid; and
*Are a U. S. citizen or legal resident.
