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.
