A BILL

To amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to prevent 
duplicate enrollments in Exchanges.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

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.''.
