The workgroup specifically wants help in figuring out how to establish one-stop shopping to determine eligibility for and enrollment in health insurance and human services programs.

The workgroup's core task is to recommend a set of standards for electronic matching across state and federal datasets; submission and retrieval of electronic documentation for verification; re-use of eligibility information; enabling individuals to maintain eligibility information online; and notification of eligibility.

The workgroup is seeking comment through July 1 and more information is available at http://healthit.hhs.gov/blog/faca/.
