Abstract: The PIIA requires executive agencies to report on Federal programs susceptible to significant improper payments. The APTC program was identified as a Federal program susceptible to significant improper payments. To comply with the requirements of the PIIA, CMS/OFM proposes to collect information from State Exchanges to identify, measure, report, and reduce errors made by State Exchanges in determining eligibility for APTC payments. Currently in operation are eighteen State Exchanges, which do not use the Federal platform to perform eligibility and enrollment determinations.
