Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Notices
The primary users of this information
are State Medicaid (and where
applicable CHIP) agencies and CMS.
State agencies are expected to use the
information collected for continuous
quality improvement purposes. They
will identify patterns of error in their
eligibility processing operations and
systems and take corrective actions to
address issues and improve the
eligibility determination process. CMS
will use the data collected to identify
and help those States that are most in
need of technical assistance. CMS will
also use the data set to identify potential
weaknesses in Federal regulations. It
will propose regulatory modifications
designed to ensure that there are more
effective quality controls in the
eligibility determination process.; Form
Number: CMS–319 (OMB control
number: 0938–0147); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
of Respondents: 35; Number of
Responses: 647; Total Annual Hours:
9,840. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Camiel Rowe at

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Community
Mental Health Center Cost Report Use:
CMS requires the Form CMS–2088–17
to determine a provider’s reasonable
cost incurred in furnishing medical
services to Medicare beneficiaries and
reimbursement due to or from a
provider. In addition, CMHCs may
receive reimbursement through the cost
report for Medicare reimbursable bad
debts. CMS uses the Form CMS–2088–
17 for rate setting; payment refinement
activities, including market basket
analysis; Medicare Trust Fund
projections; and to support program
operations. The primary function of the
cost report is to determine provider
reimbursement for services rendered to
Medicare beneficiaries. Each CMHC
submits the cost report to its contractor
for reimbursement determination.
Section 1874A of the Act describes the
functions of the contractor. CMHCs
must follow the principles of cost
reimbursement, which require they
maintain sufficient financial records
and statistical data for proper
determination of costs. The S series of
worksheets collects the provider’s
location, CBSA, date of certification,
operations, and unduplicated census
days. The A series of worksheets
collects the provider’s trial balance of
expenses for overhead costs, direct
patient care services, and non-revenue
generating cost centers. The B series of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

worksheets allocates the overhead costs
to the direct patient care and nonrevenue generating cost centers using
functional statistical bases. The
Worksheet C computes the
apportionment of costs between
Medicare beneficiaries and other
patients. The D series of worksheets are
Medicare specific and calculate the
reimbursement settlement for services
rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. The
Worksheet F collects the provider’s
revenues and expenses data from the
provider’s income statement. Form
Number: CMS–2088–17 (OMB control
number: 0938–0378); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private
Sector, Business or other for-profits,
Not-for-profits institutions; Number of
Respondents: 191; Total Annual
Responses: 191; Total Annual Hours:
17,190. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Jill Keplinger at
410–786–4550.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a previously
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Federally
Qualified Health Center Cost Report
Form; Use: The Form CMS–224–14 cost
report is needed to determine a
provider’s reasonable cost incurred in
furnishing medical services to Medicare
beneficiaries and to calculate the FQHC
settlement amount. These providers,
paid under the FQHC prospective
payment system (PPS), may receive
reimbursement outside of the PPS for
Medicare reimbursable bad debts,
pneumococcal, influenza, and COVID–
19 vaccines, and monoclonal antibody
products. CMS uses the Form CMS–
224–14 for rate setting; payment
refinement activities, including
developing a FQHC market basket;
Medicare Trust Fund projections; and to
support program operations.
Additionally, the Medicare Payment
Advisory Commission (MedPAC) uses
the FQHC Medicare cost report data to
calculate Medicare margins; to
formulate recommendations to Congress
regarding the FQHC PPS; and to
conduct additional analysis of the
FQHC PPS. Form Number: CMS–224–14
(OMB control number: 0938–1298);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
Private Sector, State, Local, or Tribal
Governments, Federal Government,
Business or other for-profits, Not-forProfit Institutions; Number of
Respondents: 2,967; Total Annual
Responses: 2,967; Total Annual Hours:

of Information Collection: Medicare
Request for Employment Information;
Use: Section 1837(i) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) provides for a
SEP for individuals who delay enrolling
in Medicare Part B because they are
covered by a group health plan based on
their own or a spouse’s current
employment status. Disabled
individuals with Medicare may also
delay enrollment because they have
large group health plan coverage based
on their own or a family member’s
current employment status. When these
individuals apply for Medicare Part B,
they must provide proof that the group
health plan coverage is (or was) based
on current employment status. Form
CMS L564 provides this proof so that
SSA can determine eligibility for the
SEP. Individuals eligible for the SEP can
enroll in Part B without incurring a late
enrollment penalty (LEP). Individuals
may also use this form to prove that
their group health plan coverage is
based on current employment status and
to have the assessed Medicare LEP
reduced. Form Number: CMS–R–297/
CMS–L564 (OMB control number:
0938–0787); Frequency: Annually;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: State agencies
administering SNAP are mandated to
participate in a computer matching
program with OCSS. The matching
program compares SNAP applicant and
recipient information with employment
and wage information maintained in the
National Directory of New Hires
(NDNH). The outcomes of the compared
information help State SNAP agencies
verify an individual’s identity and
determine a benefit eligibility. To
receive NDNH information, state
agencies enter into a computer matching
agreement and adhere to its terms and
conditions, including providing OCSS
with annual performance outcomes
attributable to the use of NDNH
information. To fulfill OMB
requirements, OCSS periodically reports
performance measurements
demonstrating how the use of
information in the NDNH supports the
OCSS strategic mission, goals, and
objectives. These periodic reports
include information derived from state
SNAP agency annual NDNH
performance reports. OCSS provides
states with required performance report
template and instructions, which OCSS
revised to update the submission
contacts and formatting, improve
grammar, and to change ‘‘Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE)’’ to
‘‘Office of Child Support Services
(OCSS).’’

The Office of Child Support
Services (OCSS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), is
requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to approve the
Electronic Document Exchange (EDE),
with minor revisions, for an additional
three years. State child support agencies
(CSAs) use the EDE to improve case
processing. The current OMB approval
expires on June 30, 2025.
DATES: Comments due February 7, 2025.
In compliance with the requirements of

collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Description: The EDE provides a
centralized, secure system for
authorized users in state CSAs to
electronically exchange child support
and spousal support case information
with other state CSAs. EDE benefits
state CSAs by reducing delays, costs,
and barriers associated with interstate
case processing. It increases state
collections, improves document
security, standardizes data sharing,
increases state participation, and
improves case processing, resulting in
better overall child and spousal support
outcomes. OCSS made minor updates to
the Portal screens to enhance
functionality and changed ‘‘Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)’’ to
‘‘Office of Child Support Services
(OCSS).’’
