HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) recently released HAB Policy Clarification Notice 14-01, which requires RWHAP grantees and subgrantees that use program funds to purchase health insurance in the Marketplace to establish appropriate mechanisms to vigorously pursue any excess premium tax credit a client receives from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) upon submission of the client's tax return.

In addition to general comments about the feasibility of implementing such a policy, HRSA would like feedback on the following issues related to this policy: Could this proposed policy be easily implemented by a grantee? What challenges would grantees and subgrantees face in implementing this proposed policy? Will grantees be able to conduct fiscal monitoring of this proposed policy? If so, what level of effort would be required?
