The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010) are collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act expands access to insurance affordability programs through improvements in Medicaid eligibility, enrollment simplification, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges ("Exchanges"), and coordination between Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Exchanges.
Relevant to this Statement, the Affordable Care Act promotes a high level of coordination, simplification, and data sharing among State and Federal agencies for the purpose of a seamless and streamlined eligibility system. The Affordable Care Act allows for significant use of Web-based technology to provide information to the public and facilitate application and renewal functions. It creates a "no wrong door" approach to insurance affordability programs so that individuals will not have to apply to multiple programs. Nor will they have to repeat the application process if they initially apply to a program for which they are not ultimately determined eligible. It also provides a simplified process for maintaining coverage through a streamlined renewal process.
The provisions of the Affordable Care Act relevant to this Statement are effective January 1, 2014.
The proposed requirements for the collection and reporting of information and recordkeeping (collectively known as information collections) generally relate to ensuring data sharing and coordination among State and Federal agencies, recordkeeping efforts among State agencies, and the development of Web-based systems and notices in support of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
