SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Description: State child support
agencies are statutorily required to enter
into data matching agreements with
financial institutions doing business in
their state to locate obligors’ accounts.
OCSS operates the MSFIDM program
through the Federal Parent Locator
Service (FPLS) and facilitates the
required data match between state child
support agencies and multistate
financial institutions (MSFIs). State
child support agencies use the data
match outcomes to fulfill a statutory
requirement to seize an obligor’s assets
to satisfy past-due child support.
OCSS also operates FAST Levy,
which is an automated application
within the FPLS to exchange electronic
lien/levy information securely and
efficiently. State child support agencies
and financial institutions use FAST
Levy to exchange information to freeze
and seize financial assets more quickly
and efficiently.
Respondents: MSFIs and State Child
Support Agencies

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Community Living, Washington, DC

In
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, ACL has submitted the
following proposed information
collection to OMB for review and
clearance. The SHIP–SMP Survey of
Group Outreach and Education Events
is a survey of individuals who attend
outreach and education events provided
by the State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP) or Senior Medicare
Patrol (SMP). These events help
Medicare beneficiaries understand their
Medicare benefits and options. These
events also increase the ability of
beneficiaries to identify fraud, waste,
and abuse within health care programs
generally, and Medicare/Medicaid
specifically. The State Health Insurance
Assistance Program (SHIP) was created
under the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990.
This section of the law authorized the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) to make grants to states
to establish and maintain health
insurance advisory service programs for
Medicare beneficiaries. Grant funds
were made available to support
information, counseling, and assistance
activities related to Medicare, Medicaid,
and other health insurance options.
The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP)
program was authorized in 1997 under
Titles II and IV of the Older Americans
Act, the Omnibus Consolidated
Appropriation Act of 1997 and the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996. The SMP
mission is to empower and assist
Medicare beneficiaries, their families,
and caregivers, to prevent, detect, and
report suspected healthcare fraud,
errors, and abuse through outreach,
counseling, and education. SMP
grantees support ACL’s goals of
promoting increased choice and greater
independence among older adults and
individuals with disabilities. SMP
activities enhance the financial,
emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing of older adults, thereby increasing
their capacity to maintain security in
retirement and make better financial
and healthcare choices. SHIP–SMP
grantees provide group outreach and
education through presentation events,
and this collection will survey the
attendees of those events.
The SHIP–SMP Survey of Group
Outreach and Education Events will
focus on group outreach and education
events and the individuals who attend

them, to determine if the target audience
is satisfied with the information they are
receiving. This is an extension with
change to the Senior Medicare Program
National Beneficiary Survey.
The Office of Healthcare Information
and Counseling (OHIC) conducted an
evaluation of the Medicare
Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act (MIPPA) in 2022–23 that
invoked the need to include collecting
demographic data, including sexual
orientation and gender identity (SOGI)
information, in all the work OHIC
touches and not just MIPPA grant work.
ACL is adding the collection of SOGI
data to this extension of the SHIP–SMP
Survey of Group Outreach and
Education Events. Including sexual
orientation and gender identity
questions in this information collection
will provide data on topics such as the
accessibility and utilization of services
and programs funded by ACL by
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
populations and the health disparities
that impact this community.
Understanding these disparities can and
should lead to improved service
delivery for ACL’s programs and
populations served.
An important gap in
sociodemographic information on the
SHIP–SMP Survey of Group Outreach
and Education Events is a lack of items
collecting sexual orientation and gender
identity. Adding sexual orientation and
gender identity items to SHIP–SMP
Survey of Group Outreach and
Education Events is part of ACL’s
strategy to address ‘‘Executive Order
13988 on Preventing and Combating
Discrimination on the Basis of Gender
Identity and Sexual Orientation.’’ Issued
in January 2021, Executive Order 13988
called upon agencies to identify existing
and new policies to promote equal
treatment under the law and ensure that
all persons are able to access healthcare
and other essential services without
being subjected to sex discrimination.
To support alignment with Executive
Order 13988, as well as Executive
Orders 13985 and 14075, three items
will be added to SHIP–SMP Survey of
Group Outreach and Education Events
to collect sexual orientation and gender
identity. The first item will ask the
individual if they think of themselves as
gay/lesbian, straight, bisexual, or
something else.
This item has been fielded on the
NHIS since 2013, where it has been
closely monitored for comprehension
and sensitivity. The second and third
items are part of a two-step series to
collect gender identity, which requires
two items to accurately collect.
Respondents are first asked to report
