Title I, SEC. 1373. APPLICATION FOR PREMIUM REDUCTIONS AND REDUCTION IN 
LIABILITIES TO ALLIANCES. 
      (a) In General. Any regional alliance eligible family may apply for a 
    determination of the family adjusted income of the family, for the purpose 
    of establishing eligibility for a premium discount under section 6104 or a 
    reduction in liability under section 6113. 

      (b) Timing. Such an application may be filed at such times as an 
    application for a cost sharing reduction may be filed under section 1372(b) 
    and also may be filed after the end of the year to obtain a rebate for 
    excess premium payments made during a year. 

      (c) Approval of Application. 

        (1) In general. A regional alliance shall approve an application of a 
      family under this section filed in a month 

          (A) for a premium discount under section 6104, if the application 
        demonstrates that family adjusted income of the family (as determined 
        under paragraph (2)) is (or is expected to be) less than 150 percent of 
        the applicable poverty level, or 

          (B) for a reduction in liability under section 6113, if the 
        application demonstrates that the wage-adjusted income (as defined in 
        subsection 6113(d)) of the family (as determined under paragraph (2)) 
        is (or is expected to be) less than 250 percent of the applicable 
        poverty level. 

        (2) Use of current income. In making the determination under paragraph 
      (1), a regional alliance shall take into account the income for the 
      previous 3-month period and current wages from employment (if any) and 
      the statement of estimated income for the year (filed under section 
      1374(c)), consistent with rules specified by the Secretary. 

      (d) Requirement for Periodic Confirmation and Verification and Notices. 
    The provisions of section   (e) of section 1372 shall apply under this 
    section in the same manner as it applies under such section, except that 
    any reference to family adjusted income is deemed a reference to 
    wage-adjusted income.
