Clarifications Regarding the Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program and
Reconciliation of Advanced Premium
Tax Credits Under the Affordable Care
Act; Request for Comment
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Request for Public Comment on
Reconciliation of Advanced Premium
Tax Credits (APTC or premium tax
credit) under the Affordable Care Act
and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
(RWHAP).
AGENCY:
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. HRSA now seeks
public comment on the operational
feasibility for RWHAP grantees and
subgrantees to implement a
complementary policy that would allow
RWHAP grantees and subgrantees to use
RWHAP funds to pay the IRS any
additional income tax liability a client
may owe to the IRS solely based on
reconciliation of the premium tax credit.
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?

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
• 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?
DATES: Submit comments no later than
August 13, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
submitted to RyanWhiteComments@
hrsa.gov by August 13, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Theresa Jumento using the email above
or by telephone at (301) 443–5807.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Many
RWHAP clients with incomes between
100–400 percent of the federal poverty
level (FPL) who do not have minimum
essential coverage may be eligible for an
APTC to offset the cost of purchasing a
qualified health plan through the
Marketplace. The amount of the
premium tax credit is based on the
individual’s income, family size, and
the cost of the second-lowest cost silver
plan available to them in the
Marketplace. If an individual qualifies
for a premium tax credit, the individual
may choose to have some or all of the
estimated premium tax credit paid in
advance directly to the insurance
company to lower the individual’s
monthly premium or can wait to get all
of the premium tax credit when the
individual files a tax return at the end
of the year.
Taxpayers will reconcile the APTC
when they file their tax returns.
Individuals will subtract the total of any
APTC they receive during the year from
the amount of the premium tax credit
calculated on their tax return (i.e.,
‘‘actual premium tax credit’’). If an
individual received APTC that exceeds
the actual premium tax credit for which
the individual is eligible, the individual
will owe that amount back to the IRS.
It is important for RWHAP grantees
and subgrantees to convey to clients the
importance of reporting accurate income
information on their Marketplace
application and reporting to the
Marketplace any income changes as
these changes occur throughout the
year. Other changes in circumstances
that can affect the amount of an
individual’s premium tax credit, that
should be reported as they occur,
include: Marriage, divorce, birth or
adoption of a child, other changes to
household composition, and gaining or
losing eligibility for governmentsponsored or employer-sponsored
health care coverage. Notifying the
Marketplace about changes in
circumstances will decrease the
likelihood of a significant difference
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
40763
between the APTC payments and the
actual premium tax credit. For example,
if an individual winds up making more
money than estimated on the
Marketplace application, the individual
could have to pay back some or all of
the premium tax credit on their next tax
return.
It is possible that, despite RWHAP
grantees’ and subgrantees’ best efforts to
encourage clients to report changes in
circumstances to the Marketplace
during the year, a RWHAP client’s
actual premium tax credit is less than
the APTC resulting in the client owing
the difference to the IRS. HRSA is
considering allowing RWHAP grantees
and subgrantees to use RWHAP funds to
pay the IRS any additional income tax
liability a client may owe to the IRS
solely based on reconciliation of the
premium tax credit.
Should such a policy be
implemented, grantees and subgrantees
would be responsible for establishing
and maintaining policies and
procedures for coordinating such
payments to the IRS since RWHAP
grantees and subgrantees are prohibited
from making any direct payments to
clients. HRSA seeks comment from the
public regarding this proposed policy,
particularly on whether this policy
could be easily implemented by the
grantees and subgrantees and what
challenges grantees and subgrantees
might face in implementing such a
policy.

necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the

Need and Use of Information
Collection: The National Cancer
Institute is requesting terms of clearance
and approval for this revised generic
clearance to conduct formative research
related to behavioral science theory
development and validation for the next
three years. Formative research in the
area of theory development and
validation would provide the basis for
developing effective cancer prevention
and control strategies, allow for a better
understanding of theoretical constructs
that influence decisions and actions
related to cancer, and ultimately
contribute to reducing the U.S. cancer
burden. Sub-studies proposed under
this generic clearance would involve
methodological testing and a standard
set of research approaches, including
surveys (Internet, phone, and paperand-pencil) and focus groups.
Respondents would include individuals
in the general public, recruited through
established online panels or Internet/
newspaper advertisements.
Development of each study or survey
would involve consulting with NCI
scientists as well as experts from the
behavioral science research community.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated burden is 6,500 hours.
