Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.

approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Program;
Eligibility Changes under the Affordable Care Act of 2010; Use: The
State Medicaid and CHIP agencies will collect all information needed to
determine and redetermine eligibility for Medicaid and will transmit
information, as appropriate, to other insurance affordability programs.
The information collection requirements will assist the public to
understand information about health insurance affordability programs
and will assist CMS in ensuring the seamless, coordinated, and
simplified system of Medicaid and CHIP application, eligibility
determination, verification, enrollment, and renewal. Form Number: CMS-

2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently

Eligibility Verification System; Use: Section 1137 of the Social
Security Act requires that States verify the income and eligibility
information contained on the applicant's application and in the
applicant's case file through data matches with the agencies and
entities identified in Section 1137 of the Act. The State Medicaid/CHIP
agency will report the existence of a system to collect all information
needed to determine and redetermine eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP.
The State Medicaid/CHIP agency will attest to using the PARIS system in

or underpayment for any prior quarter. Collection of Medicaid data and

calculate the Medicaid IBNR. Form CMS-R-199
