Consumer-Reported Verification Data Sources for State Medicaid Eligibility Determination

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a Sources‑Sought Request for Information (RFI #269998) to gather market intelligence on consumer‑reported verification data sources that can be used for state Medicaid eligibility determinations. The immediate procurement focus is on authoritative payroll and employment verification data needed to support eligibility decisions and the community‑engagement verification requirements of the Working Families Tax Cut Act (effective January 2027). In addition, CMS seeks strategic insight on broader verification domains—including educational enrollment, asset/financial, identity verification, and integrated multi‑source platforms—to inform future modernization efforts. Respondents are asked to submit a concise capability statement covering: a brief company overview; the verification data domain(s) offered and their maturity; relevant government or public‑sector experience; key technical capabilities and compliance certifications (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC 2); and any unique differentiators. Optional attachments may include certification letters, API documentation, past‑performance summaries, and pricing information. Responses must be emailed by 5:00 PM ET on 17 April 2026 and will be used solely for market research and acquisition planning; the RFI does not constitute a solicitation, and vendors should be aware of potential organizational conflict‑of‑interest considerations.
