3. a. The Department of Banking and Insurance may assess or determine, as appropriate, eligibility for insurance affordability assistance as soon as possible after an individual files a State income tax return on which the individual indicates pursuant to paragraph (3) of subsection c. of section 6 of this act, that the individual or another individual indicated on the tax return is seeking coverage.
b. (1) To the extent practicable, the department may verify an individual's eligibility for insurance affordability assistance with information on a State income tax return and other data from third-party data sources, including data described in section 1413 of the Affordable Care Act or available pursuant to section 6 of this act, without requesting additional information from the individual.
(2) If additional documentation from an individual is required to establish eligibility for insurance affordability assistance, the department shall take steps to obtain such information while limiting the burden on the individual.
c. The Department of Banking and Insurance may make, or refer to the Department of Human Services to make, an assessment or determination, as appropriate, of eligibility for the State Medicaid program or the NJ FamilyCare Program. The Department of Banking and Insurance may utilize and share with the Department of Human Services any information provided to the Department of Banking and Insurance in making assessments or determinations pursuant to this subsection.
