Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to "Clarifying the Eligibility of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Recipients and Certain Other Noncitizens for a Qualified Health Plan through an Exchange, Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit, Cost-Sharing Reductions, and a Basic Health Program".
HJRES 138 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rule that would have clarified eligibility for health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and certain noncitizens. The rule, submitted on May 8, 2024, aimed to allow these individuals to access premium tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, and health plans through ACA marketplaces. This resolution, if enacted, would block the rule from taking effect under the Congressional Review Act, directly preventing DACA recipients and the specified noncitizens from qualifying for these benefits. The bill does not create new policy but halts an existing regulatory clarification.
