Act addresses this deficiency by encouraging culturally appropriate enrollment and retention practices. The bill funds translation and interpretation services for families where English is not the primary language and authorizes community health workers to provide outreach services. Finally. the CHAMP Act restores the states option to cover legal immigrant children and legal immigrant pregnant women in SCHIP or Medicaid. It also amends the requirements for documentation of citizenship to allow a reasonable amount of time for families to gather the necessary papers and information. As a proud American who cherishes the values upon which our country was founded. I believe this bill takes a giant step forward in honoring our moral imperative to ensure that age. race and income do not determine the health status of our children. seniors. and citizens with disabilities.
