# §457.1010. Purchase of family coverage.


A State may purchase family coverage that includes coverage for targeted low-income children if the State establishes that—

- (a) Purchase of family coverage is cost-effective under the standards described in [§ 457.1015](/cfr/42/457.1015.md);
- (b) The State does not purchase the coverage if it would otherwise substitute for health insurance coverage that would be provided to targeted, low-income children but for the purchase of family coverage; and
- (c) **The coverage for the family otherwise meets the requirements of this part.**
