Abstract: Section 1312(e) of the Affordable Care Act directs the Secretary to establish procedures under which a State may permit agents and brokers to enroll qualified individuals and qualified employers in QHPs through an Exchange, and to assist individuals in applying for advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions. This Information Collection Request (ICR) serves as the formal request for a new data collection clearance associated with the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2018 Proposed Rule (2018 Payment Notice). This ICR includes ICRs related to the ability of states to permit agents and brokers to assist qualified individuals, qualified employers, or qualified employees enrolling in Qualified Health Plans in the Federally Facilitated Exchange (§155.220) and ICRs related to non-exchange entities (§155.260).
