BACK-TO-SCHOOL & SCHOOL-BASED OUTREACH

During the school year, there are a variety of ways to let parents and
caregivers know that their children and teens may be eligible for free or
low-cost health insurance through Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance
Program (CHIP). With health insurance, they can get the immunizations,
check-ups, eye exams, dental visits and other care they may need to fully
participate in classroom, after-school and summer activities. Schools are great
partners to help reach and enroll families with children who are eligible for
Medicaid and CHIP.

When doing outreach for the 2022 Back-to-School season it is also important to
emphasize the need for families to update their address with their state
Medicaid office. CMS created an Unwinding homepage with tools and resources. On
this page, you can find the Communications Toolkit and Communications Toolkit
Graphics to help partners reach out to Medicaid and CHIP enrollees so that they
are prepared for upcoming renewals, along with several other Unwinding
resources. The Campaign has also created a 2022 Back-to-School Toolkit and 2022
Back-to-School Toolkit Graphics to highlight Unwinding messaging.


BACK-TO-SCHOOL & SCHOOL-BASED OUTREACH MATERIALS

The Campaign has outreach tools and materials to support school-based outreach
efforts. Below are outreach materials specifically tailored for Back-to-School
and other school-based outreach. You can learn about how others have used these
and other campaign materials in our eNewsletters, webinars, and videos.

Campaign materials—including tools for other initiatives—can be found in
the Outreach Tool Library.
