Applying for Children's Health Insurance

Download the Families and Children Medicaid Application*

(Note: Use the Social Services Application for Benefits to apply for Adult Medicaid or for other programs.)

Fill the application out completely, sign and date it, and remember to list the parent/caretaker as "person 1". List everyone living in the home. If there are more than four people in the household, print additional copies of the form and remember to sign and date each copy. Answer the questions in the left margin for each person listed. A signature is required on page two. By signing, you agree to "assign medical support". This gives the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) the right to be reimbursed should you be eligible for other insurance payments or medical claims.

Families with too much household income to qualify for Medicaid may be eligible for FAMIS (Family Access to Medical Insurance Security) Call Toll Free 1-877-86FAMIS to apply, or visit http://www.famis.org for more information.
