MAGI-BASED ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PLAN SECTION D - Additional Verification Questions 3 Question Response If (YES), please submit a letter to CMS requesting such approval describing how the the state meets the following requirements: 1) Reduces administrative costs and burdens on both individuals and the State, 2) Maximizes accuracy and minimizes delay, 3) Meets the requirements related to confidentiality, disclosure, maintenance and use of information, and 4) Promotes coordination with other insurance affordability programs. State submitted letter to the Secretary on July 10, 2013 requesting to not use the Hub for SSA citizenship, SSN and income data, which was approved on February 5, 2015. The state also submitted Hub waiver on March 19, 2014 to not use steps 2 and 3 through the Hub VLP service until September 2015, which was approved on April 17, 2015. The state is not able to meet the 4 requirements below pertaining to the alternative mechanism to verify immigration status, as we do not have an exisiting SAVE match; however, this is an agreed upon mitigation until the state makes the system change to access this data through the Hub in October 2015. 1) The administrative costs for the State have been met by using already established interfaces. Additional costs are mitigated by not connecting to the hub. Administrative burden for the client has been mitigated by accepting self- attestation of information and conducting post-enrollment verfication of income therefore eliminating the need fo the client to obtain copies of documentation unnecessarily. 2) The established interfaces are real-time (occur within minutes) which minimizes any delays. The interfaces are established with credible sources therefore maximizing accuracy of eligiblity determinations. 3) Agreements have been executed with the agencies from which information is verified and information is kept confidential 4) Real-time interfaces allow for information to be received quicker and submitted to other insurance affordability programs if the applicant is ineligible for Medicaid or CHP+. 5 Describe any additional MAGI-based eligibility verification policies and procedures that have not been covered in this verification plan (optional): N/A
