This collection is necessary to verify
income and eligibility requirements for Medicaid recipients, as
required by Section 1137 of the Social Security Act.
While this 2018/2019
information collection request does not propose any program
changes, we propose to adjust (decrease) the burden on states for
submitting state plan amendments since all states have IEVS
approved in their state plan. The adjustment would decreased the
total number of hours from 1,130 to 1,082, a decrease of 48
hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
