-Random income verification on individual income qualification for subsidies for 2014
-Random checks on whether applicants have employer insurance starting in 2015
Random verification on income for qualifying for subsidies ? Are they crazy ?
Whatever I say is my income then that is what they have to take with no verification.
Didn't they just learn from the Lifeline audit that showed 41% didn't qualify for those free phones ?
And it's only July folks. Who knows what more they will drop or turn random between now and Jan 1.
U.S. relaxes health law income, insurance status rule for exchanges
But final regulations released quietly on Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) give 16 states and the District of Columbia, which are setting up their own exchanges, until 2015 to begin random sampling of enrollees' employer-insurance status. The rules also allow only random - rather than comprehensive - checks on income eligibility in 2014.
..
"For income verification, for the first year of operations, we are providing (state and federal) exchanges with temporarily expanded discretion to accept an attestation of projected annual household income without further verification," the rule said.
Maybe the reason so few people have responded is because you have taken mutually exclusive and oppisite positions on the same issue just to be angry at something, which lacks integrity. Arguing with a nutjob that happily lies is like trying to teach your dog to do your taxes...the only thing that results is that you just mad at the dog.

Right now I believe it's the law that "other" govt programs are banned from getting data from the IRS. They can't ask the IRS how much money a guy makes, to determine if he's eligible for Obamacare subsidies.
Expect that restriction to become a victim of yet another late-night "adjustment", sometime soon. It's just a matter of time before some enlightened bureaucrat says, "Well, wouldn't it be more efficient if we did it that way, just getting the data directly from the IRS? We know we need it to do this right, after all." ...and then quietly worked that into some Executive Order, or maybe into some regulation written by unelected bureaucrats in HHS.

They are not going to verify income. It's at the "discretion of the state" and must be random for all of 2014.
Just like the Lifeline program. Only later they found out 41% of the subscribers didn't qualify.
How hard could it be to ask people to bring a copy of their 1040 to verify income and family size ?
