Creates a program for people to use their federal income tax return to check eligibility for and enroll household members in free or low-cost health coverage (Medicaid, CHIP, and Exchange plans). It requires Treasury and HHS to build secure data transfers, set consent and privacy rules, let Exchanges rely on tax and other reliable data to reduce paperwork, and funds system development and operations from the Treasury as needed.
Also changes rules for how states and Exchanges determine eligibility and calculate premium tax credits (including relying on recent SNAP/TANF findings or prior-year income in some cases), authorizes broad data-sharing from federal and third-party sources (with privacy safeguards), creates an advisory committee, and requires HHS to study the law’s impact and report recommendations by July 1, 2030.
