Children's Home and Community Based Services Medicaid Waiver
(CHCBS Waiver)

The CHCBS Medicaid Waiver is available to Colorado residents who have a child or children with a disability and who do not qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) through the Social Security Administration.  Families who qualify for SSI automatically receive Medicaid benefits for their children. SSI eligibility is based on the family's income and assets. If a family does not qualify for SSI but needs insurance for their child/ children, this waiver provides Medicaid for the child with the disability even though the parent's income or assets make them ineligible for SSI, and therefore for Medicaid.  For more information, contact your local office of Health and Human Services.
