This bill strengthens existing verification tools by making a
commonsense change. Rather than sending the money first and confirming
legal status later, it verifies legal status up
front. So if you want to receive financial support for health
insurance, this bill simply requires that you first provide a Social
Security number or another form of acceptable information to validate
citizenship or immigration status. This commonsense change will apply to ObamaCare beginning with next
year's open enrollment period, and after ObamaCare is repealed, it will
apply to the tax credits offered in the American Health Care Act when
they take effect. This helps ensure that taxpayer-funded assistance for
the purchase of health insurance is only distributed to people who are
eligible, not to those who are in our country illegally.
