Section 1. Preventing duplicate enrollments in Exchanges
Section 1411 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18081) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
(j) Preventing duplicate enrollments
Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall—
(1) establish, as part of the program established under subsection (a), a process for identifying whether the social security number provided by an individual who is to be covered in the individual market by a qualified health plan offered through an Exchange is identical to the social security number of any enrollee in any Exchange under this title enrolled for the same period in which such coverage is to be effective; and
(2) in the case that identical social security numbers are so identified under paragraph (1), take such actions as are necessary to ensure that duplicative advance payments of premium tax credits under section 1412 are not made with respect to an individual.
