“ IN GENERAL.—The Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study of whether— (A) the coverage of a parent, a caretaker relative (as such term is used in carrying out section 1931) , or a legal guardian of a targeted low-income child under a State health plan under title XXI of the Social Security Act increases the enrollment of, or the quality of care for, children, and (B) such parents, relatives, and legal guardians who enroll in such a plan are more likely to enroll their children in such a plan or in a State plan under title XIX of such Act. ”

“ NOTICE REQUIREMENT- For any child who is found eligible for medical assistance under the State plan under this title or child health assistance under title XXI and who is subject to premiums based on an Express Lane agency's finding of such child's income level, the State shall provide notice that the child may qualify for lower premium payments if evaluated by the State using its regular policies and of the procedures for requesting such an evaluation. ”

“ CHILDREN WITH INCOME NOT ABOVE THRESHOLD- If the income of a child does not exceed the screening threshold, the child is deemed to satisfy the income eligibility criteria for medical assistance under this title regardless of whether such child would otherwise satisfy such criteria. ”
