Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Program; Eligibility Changes under the Affordable Care Act of 2010; Use: The eligibility systems are essential to the goal of increasing coverage in insurance affordability programs while reducing administrative burden on states and consumers.
