45 CFR § 155.315 Verification process related to eligibility for enrollment in a QHP through theExchange.(i) Applicant information.

Reg. at 18341Comment: Two commenters stated that HHS should be able to collect demographic information ona voluntary basis through the Exchange. Commenters believe that collection of demographicinformation would help to provide essential health information on vulnerable or underservedpopulations, facilitate tailored outreach and aid in enrollment activities, and provide input in thedevelopment of prevention and health care programming that address disparities.Response: Section 1411(g) of the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit the collection of demographic data. We respond to this issue in greater depth in the preamble to § 155.405, whichaddresses the single, streamlined application.76 Fed. Reg. at 18386Comment: Numerous commenters urged HHS to add language to proposed § 155.405 stating thatthe standard single streamlined application should not include questions that are not pertinent tothe eligibility and enrollment process. Other commenters wanted to ensure that the application willcollect demographic information beyond what is established in the statute.Response: The Exchange eligibility proposed rule and this final rule at § 155.315(g) [sic: should be§ 155.315(i)] prohibit Exchanges from requiring information beyond the minimum necessary tosupport eligibility determinations for the Exchange and insurance affordability programs. Thisprovision limits the application to information that is pertinent to the eligibility and enrollmentprocess.76 Fed. Reg. at 18314Comment: Several commenters recommended we adopt the broad, U.S. Census data definition for ‘‘limited English proficient’’ which is ‘‘an individual whose primary language is not English and whospeaks English less than very well.’’Response: In the final rule, we do not adopt a definition for the phrase ‘‘limited English proficient.’’We anticipate issuing future guidance that will interpret this term and will provide best practices andadvice related to meaningful access standards for limited English proficient individuals.

A number of commenters expressed concern that any inquiryabout citizenship or immigration status will have a chilling effect on eligible applicants living withhousehold members who are not applying for coverage.Response: States may only require information that is necessary to make an eligibilitydetermination or that is directly connected to administration of the State plan and we are codifying3
