Bill > HR1113

This bill, titled the "Easy Enrollment in Health Care Act," aims to streamline enrollment in health insurance affordability programs and minimum essential coverage. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Allowing taxpayers who are not covered by minimum essential coverage to consent to have their relevant tax return information disclosed to the applicable Exchange to determine their eligibility for insurance affordability programs and facilitate their enrollment into minimum essential coverage, provided it is available through a zero-net-premium plan. 2. Modernizing Medicaid and CHIP eligibility criteria to allow for the use of findings from other benefit programs, like SNAP and TANF, and to base eligibility on the previous year's income for individuals applying early in the year. 3. Improving the stability and predictability of Exchange coverage by aligning the applicable taxable year used for premium tax credit determinations with the relevant plan year. 4. Strengthening data infrastructure by providing insurance affordability programs access to the National Directory of New Hires and other data sources to facilitate eligibility determinations. 5. Appropriating funds to the Departments of the Treasury and Health and Human Services to establish the necessary information exchange and processing infrastructure to implement the Act.
