<body>
<p>This proposed rule would make several clarifications and update the definitions currently used to determine whether a consumer is eligible to enroll in a Qualified Health Plan (QHP) through an Exchange; a Basic Health Program (BHP), in states that elect to operate a BHP; and for some state Medicaid and Children&rsquo;s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP).&nbsp;This rule would &nbsp;modify the definition of lawfully present&rdquo; to include Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and make additional technical modifications to the definition.</p>
