Abstract: As part of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), Congress authorized a new policy known as Express Lane Eligibility (ELE). With ELE, a state's Medicaid and/or Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) can rely on another agency's eligibility findings to qualify children for CHIP or Medicaid health coverage, despite their different methods of assessing income or otherwise determining eligibility. As part of CHIPRA, Congress also mandated an extensive, rigorous evaluation of ELE, creating an exceptional opportunity to document ELE implementation across states and to assess the changes to coverage or administrative costs that may have resulted. The evaluation also provides an opportunity to understand other methods of simplified enrollment that states have been pursuing and to assess the benefits and potential costs of these methods compared to those of ELE.
