AI Summary
This bill, the CHIP Stability Act, amends the Social Security Act to establish a special rule for the redistribution of unused Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) allotments to states experiencing emergency shortfalls during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must first redistribute unused allotments to each state with an emergency shortfall before redistributing to any state with a non-emergency shortfall. The bill also allows for the "qualifying state" option, which permits certain states to use CHIP funds from other sources, to apply during this period as if the reference to 2017 were a reference to 2018.
