what is express lane eligibility?

Broadly, Express Lane refers to the use of data held by other government agencies to identify individuals who may be eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP, evaluate their eligibility for health insurance, and enroll them or renew their coverage, as appropriate.

SCHIP Reauthorization (H.R. 2 - 2009) gives states the option to base Medicaid and SCHIP eligibility and renewal determinations on the specific findings of other need-based programs, such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), Food Stamps, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), even where the other agency uses a different methodology to make that finding.

Ideally, Express Lane uses information technology to transfer relevant data from other sources and to perform necessary administrative functions.
