Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to release the January 2014 monthly report on state Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) application and eligibility data.

Today's report represents state Medicaid and CHIP agency activity for January 2014, which coincides with the fourth month of the Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period. These data were reported by state Medicaid and CHIP agencies as part of the Medicaid and CHIP Performance Indicator process. The report focuses on those monthly indicators that relate to key processes relevant during the Marketplace open enrollment period. This information supplements data on the Marketplace activity that has been released by HHS.

These data will continue to be released monthly, and we will refine and improve the information as more comprehensive information becomes available.
