Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation; Privacy Act of 1974; Report of New System of Records

Resumo

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) is proposing to establish a new system of records, called the Partnership for Long Term Care Data Set. The Partnership allows states to offer special Medicaid asset disregards to persons purchasing specially certified long term care insurance policies. This program and the data collection were established by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005--Section 6021. Although the Privacy Act requires only that the "routine uses" portion of the system be published for comment, ASPE invites comments on all portions of this notice.
