CMS uses periodic data matching to confirm consumers who are enrolled in Marketplace coverage and receiving advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions are not also enrolled in or eligible for minimum essential coverage through Medicaid and/or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Consumers who do not take action to resolve such issues could lose their eligibility for financial help.
