Act''.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON AUTO-ENROLLMENT.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, American Health Benefit 
Exchanges shall not provide for automatic enrollment in health plans

Health and Human Services verifies that each State Exchange established 
under section 1311 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
(42 U.S.C. 13031) and the Federal Exchange established under section

Inspector General.

SEC. 3. PROCESS FOR APPLICATIONS WITH INCONSISTENCIES.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
(referred to in this section as the ``Secretary'') shall make public 
the steps that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the 
Federal Exchange will take to clear any inconsistencies that arose on 
or before the date of enactment of this Act and to ensure that the 
systems used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to 
determine or assess eligibility for premium tax credits, cost-sharing 
reductions, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program 
(CHIP) can resolve such inconsistencies not later than 30 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act.
    (b) Methods To Monitor Progress.--Not later than 30 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall make public the 
methods that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services use to 
monitor, track, and measure the progress of the Federal Exchange and 
State Exchanges in resolving inconsistencies.
    (c) Suspension of Financial Assistance Programs.--Premium 
assistance tax credits under section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986 and the reduced cost-sharing program under section 1402 of the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18071) shall not 
be available for plan year 2015. Such premium tax credit and cost-
sharing programs shall resume only after--
            (1) the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration 
        affirmatively declares that all inconsistencies related to 
        invalid social security numbers have been resolved; and
            (2) the Inspector General of the Department of Health and 
        Human Services determines that all inconsistencies, as defined 
        in section 4(1), have been resolved.
    (d) Requests for Additional Information.--
            (1) In general.--If applicant information provided by an 
        individual seeking to enroll in a qualified health plan on a 
        State or Federal Exchange contains inconsistencies, the 
        Secretary shall request additional information from the 
        individual, and the individual shall have 90 days to provide 
        such information.
            (2) Restrictions during inconsistency period.--During the 
        inconsistency period, an individual may be enrolled in 
        qualified health plan, but may not participate in the premium 
        assistance credit program under section 36B of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986 or the reduced cost-sharing program under 
        section 1402 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
        (42 U.S.C. 18071). An individual who cooperates with a request 
        for additional information and whom the Secretary later 
        determines to be eligible for such programs, shall 
        retroactively receive the benefits of such programs that such 
        individual was eligible to receive for the inconsistency 
        period.
            (3) Failure to submit additional information.--If the 
        applicant does not submit additional information requested 
        under subparagraph (A)--
                    (A)(i) the applicant shall be withdrawn from the 
                premium assistance credit program under section 36B of 
                the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the reduced cost-
                sharing program under section 1402 of the Patient 
                Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18071), 
                as applicable, at the end of the inconsistency period; 
                and
                    (ii) the Secretary shall send notification of such 
                disenrollment to the applicable health insurance 
                issuer; and
                    (B) the applicant shall re-enroll in a qualified 
                health plan with appropriate and accurate information 
                during the next open enrollment period.

Stopping Illegal Obamacare Subsidies Act - Prohibits American Health Benefit Exchanges from providing for automatic enrollment in health plans until the Inspector General (IG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) verifies that each state exchange and the federal exchange established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) have resolved the inconsistencies outlined in the June 14 IG report. Directs the Secretary of HHS to make public the steps that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the federal exchange will take to clear any inconsistencies that arose on or before the enactment of this Act and to ensure that the systems used by the CMS to determine or assess eligibility for premium tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) under title XXI of the Social Security Act can resolve such inconsistencies within 30 days after enactment of this Act. Directs the Secretary to make public the methods that the CMS use to monitor, track, and measure the progress of the federal and state exchanges in resolving inconsistencies. Suspends for plan year 2015 the availability of premium assistance tax credits and the reduced cost-sharing program under PPACA; and allows them to resume only after the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration declares affirmatively that all inconsistencies related to invalid Social Security numbers have been resolved, and the IG determines that this is so. Directs the Secretary to request additional information from any applicant for a qualified health plan on a state or federal exchange whose information contains inconsistencies. Requires the applicant to: (1) be withdrawn from the premium assistance credit and reduced cost-sharing programs if the additional information is not provided within 90 days, and (2) re-enroll in a qualified health plan with appropriate and accurate information during the next open enrollment period.
