Husky B is for children whose parents make too much for Medicaid but need insurance (part of ___)

• A. Medicare
• B. SSA
• C. CHIP
• D. Social Security

Answer: (C)

This item centers on CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program. HUSKY B is the CHIP option used in some states for children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but still need affordable health coverage. CHIP provides health insurance for kids in families with incomes above Medicaid limits, offering a more affordable alternative to private plans. It’s a joint federal‑state program designed to ensure children get essential medical care when Medicaid isn’t an option. Medicare and Social Security are unrelated programs—Medicare serves older adults and certain disabled people, while Social Security provides retirement or disability benefits—so they don’t fit the scenario described.
