suspected violations of law and 

suspicious transactions. To fulfill these 

requirements, supervised banking 

organizations file SARs. Law 

enforcement agencies use the 

information submitted on the reporting 

form to initiate investigations and the 

Federal Reserve uses the information in 

the examination and oversight of 

supervised institutions.

Proposed Project: The Children’s 

Health Insurance Program 

Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) Express 

Lane Eligibility (ELE) Evaluation—OMB 

No. 0990–NEW—Assistant Secretary 

Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval on a new collection to evaluate 

the implementation of a new policy 

known as Express Lane Eligibility (ELE). 

With ELE, a state’s Medicaid and/or 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(CHIP) can rely on another agency’s 

eligibility findings to qualify children 

for health coverage, despite their 

different methods of assessing income 

or otherwise determining eligibility. 

CHIPRA authorized an extensive, 

rigorous evaluation of ELE, creating an 

exceptional opportunity to document 

ELE implementation across states and to 

assess the changes to coverage or 

administrative costs that may have 

resulted. The evaluation also provides 

an opportunity to understand other 

methods of simplified enrollment that 

states have been pursuing and to assess 

the benefits and potential costs of these 

methods compared to those of ELE. To 

answer key research questions, ASPE 

will draw on 5 primary data collections 

including (1) Collecting administrative 

cost data from ELE and non-ELE states, 

(2) collecting enrollment data from ELE 

and non-ELE states, (3) conducting case 

studies in ELE and non-ELE states, 

including key informant interviews and 

focus groups, (4) conducting a 51-state 

(50 states and the District of Columbia) 

survey, and (5) holding quarterly 

monitoring calls with 30 states. This 

request seeks clearance on all data 

collections except the collection of 

administrative cost and enrollment data 

for ELE states.
