Recipient agencies means schools, institutions, welfare agencies, disaster relief organizations, and public or pri- vate agencies whose food distribution functions or project activities are spon- sored by the cooperating sponsor and which receive for distribution to eligi- ble recipients commodities or mone- tized proceeds or program income for approved project activities. A cooper- ating sponsor may be a recipient agen- cy.
Recipient agencies. We estimate that the personnel costs associated with the computer matching program to recipient agencies (including State-based Marketplaces, Medicaid/CHIP agencies and Basic Health Programs) is $215 million. We do not require recipient agencies to submit personnel costs to CMS. This estimate is based on assumptions from CMS operational engagement with these agencies. In contrast, a manual process would require additional personnel to manually review and verify consumer information. We estimate that a manual process would require just over one billion dollars in personnel costs to recipient agencies. This estimate is based off the cost of the current cost of manually verifying consumer information today for Marketplaces and the Basic Health Program. The Medicaid/CHIP cost is mitigated by the assumption that without the current Hub Medicaid/CHIP would use the decentralized data connections they had pre-ACA with TDSs. Overall however, a decentralized computer matching program would likely require recipient agencies to spend more on personnel costs than the existing matching program, but less than a manual process. We have not quantified the associated costs.
Recipient agencies. We believe that our electronic verification sources are a more accurate and efficient means of verifying a consumer’s information compared to both the manual review of consumer-provided documentation and the use of multiple decentralized computer matching programs between each Administering Entity and each TDS. The real-time data matches allowed by the computer matching program increase the efficiency with which we verify a consumer’s information, allowing for increased avoidance of improper payments for the FFM, state-based Marketplaces, Medicaid, CHIP, and Basic Health Programs. For example, real-time capabilities mean the front-end application can be responsive in real time to the consumer input as well as the data received to correct data and/or reduce the need for manual follow-up. Specific examples of this efficiency could include a “prompt” to an applicant to check their social security number if it does not match the first time, allowing a consumer to correct ‘fat finger’ mistakes in seconds rather than go through a lengthy manual process, or requesting specific DHS documentation number follow up information about a consumer who has attested to being a lawful immigrant in a specific category. By increasing the accuracy of our verifications, we (1) avoid improper payments being made to individuals who are ineligible; and (2) reduce the additional time spent by staff at the aforementioned agencies in addressing what appear to be data inconsistencies. Finally, we believe this computer matching program xxxxxx fraud and abuse on applications for state health subsidy programs, further avoiding future improper payments. We do not currently have reliable data to quantify these avoided improper payments. As the program matures, we anticipate having data that likely could be used to calculate an approximation of the increased accuracy of online verifications. The Office of Financial Management-led improper payment rate methodology for the Marketplace may be one source of this valuable information. We are exploring the possibility of leveraging the computer matching program for use in eligibility determinations for other public benefit programs. If we were to expand the program, we anticipate even more benefits for consumers and the agencies that support such consumer programs.
