The data were not “aged” in any way to capture changes in demographics, employment/unemployment, or income since 2010.

Conclusion

Overlapping Eligibility and Enrollment: Human Services and Health Programs Under the Affordable Care Act. Conclusion

Human services programs serve many of the same people who will qualify for health programs under the Affordable Care Act. The resulting overlap, along with new federal resources for IT development, may create promising opportunities to use one program’s data to qualify low-income consumers for other programs. This offers the possibility of impro
