Meanwhile, the GOP is pressuring the Department of Health and Human Services to strengthen the income verification requirements for individuals who earn above 400 percent of the federal poverty line and qualify for subsidies under the law. HHS had announced that it would rely on applicants’ self-reported income information to verify whether they accurately represented their earnings and “only double-check a statistically significant number of these people with large income discrepancies, rather than the entire group.” The Senate deal would “call for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to certify that adequate verification processes were already in place” and require a follow-up audit from the Inspector General.
