Proposed Project: The Children’s
Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) Express
Lane Eligibility (ELE) Evaluation—OMB
No. 0990–NEW—Assistant Secretary
Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval on a new collection to evaluate
the implementation of 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 health coverage, despite their
different methods of assessing income
or otherwise determining eligibility.
CHIPRA authorized 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. To
answer key research questions, ASPE
will draw on 5 primary data collections
including (1) collecting administrative
cost data from ELE and non-ELE states,
(2) collecting enrollment data from ELE
and non-ELE states, (3) conducting case
studies in ELE and non-ELE states,
including key informant interviews and
focus groups, (4) conducting a 51-state
(50 states and the District of Columbia)
survey, and (5) holding quarterly
monitoring calls with 30 states. This
request seeks clearance on all data
collections except the collection of
administrative cost and enrollment data
for ELE states. The administrative cost
data, enrollment data, case studies, and
51-state survey will take place only once
over the course of the two year
evaluation. The quarterly monitoring
calls will take place take place 5 times
over the course of the 13 months and
will include an initial call of up to an
hour in length and 4 shorter follow-up
calls of about 15 minutes in length each.
The administrative cost and enrollment
data collection includes contact with
key informants and state-level computer
programmers and will be collected
using Microsoft document templates.
The qualitative case studies will include
site visit interviews with state and locallevel key informants in 8 ELE states and
6 non-ELE states, plus focus groups with

parents of children whose eligibility
was established or renewed through ELE
methods and parents of children
enrolled or renewed through non-ELE
routes. The survey component will be

conducted using a Dataweb program as
well as a paper and pencil option and
will involve Medicaid and CHIP
program directors from the 50 states and
the District of Columbia. Finally, the

quarterly monitoring calls will be
conducted with a sample of 30 states
drawn from both ELE and non-ELE
states.
