“in the case such individual is an alien lawfully present in the United States, whether such individual is an eligible alien (within the meaning of section 36B(e)(2) of such Code);”
The section amends section 1411 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act so that the Exchange checks whether a lawfully present alien is an eligible alien, adds an attestation of that status where eligibility rests on immigration status, and adds the same attestation to the verification procedure. It also amends section 1412(d) so that advance payments are not made for aliens who are not eligible aliens. Those changes apply to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
What the document actually says
“in the case such individual is an alien lawfully present in the United States, whether such individual is an eligible alien (within the meaning of section 36B(e)(2) of such Code);”
That sentence, in plain words
The exchange must check one more thing. For a lawfully present alien it must ask whether they are an eligible alien.
What this is about
That term is set by the tax code. An attestation may be used. Advance payments are barred for those who do not qualify.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
