    Title XXI of the Social Security Act, enacted in 1997 by the 

Balanced Budget Act, authorizes Federal grants to States for provision 

of child health assistance to uninsured, low-income children. The 

program is jointly financed by the Federal and State governments and 

administered by the States. Within broad Federal rules, each State 

decides eligible groups, types and ranges of services, payment levels 

for benefit coverage, and administrative and operating procedures.
