Stop ACA Enrollment Fraud Act of 2026
This bill aims to prevent fraudulent enrollments in health insurance exchanges by requiring the government to check for duplicate social security numbers before issuing premium tax credits. It also mandates that agents and brokers must obtain direct consent from individuals or employers before completing enrollments, rather than accepting third-party attestations of consent. These measures directly affect insurance brokers, agents, and individuals seeking health coverage through federal exchanges. The changes would take effect for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
