Proposed Project: The Children’s
Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) Express
Lane Eligibility (ELE) Evaluation—OMB
No. 0990–NEW—Assistant Secretary
Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval on a new collection to evaluate
the implementation of a new policy
known as Express Lane Eligibility (ELE).
With ELE, a state’s Medicaid and/or
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) can rely on another agency’s
eligibility findings to qualify children
for health coverage, despite their
different methods of assessing income
or otherwise determining eligibility.
CHIPRA authorized an extensive,
rigorous evaluation of ELE, creating an
exceptional opportunity to document
ELE implementation across states and to
assess the changes to coverage or
administrative costs that may have
resulted. The evaluation also provides
an opportunity to understand other
methods of simplified enrollment that
states have been pursuing and to assess
the benefits and potential costs of these
methods compared to those of ELE. To
answer key research questions, ASPE
will draw on 5 primary data collections
including (1) Collecting administrative
cost data from ELE and non-ELE states,
(2) collecting enrollment data from ELE
and non-ELE states, (3) conducting case
studies in ELE and non-ELE states,
including key informant interviews and
focus groups, (4) conducting a 51-state
(50 states and the District of Columbia)
survey, and (5) holding quarterly
monitoring calls with 30 states. This
request seeks clearance on all data
collections except the collection of
administrative cost and enrollment data
for ELE states.
