The Improper Payments Information Act
(IPIA) of 2002 requires CMS to produce national error rates for
Medicaid and SCHIP. To comply with the IPIA, CMS needs the
information to be collected in order to provide some Federal
overview of state eligibility determinations to ensure correctness
and consistency among states and to use the State-specific error
rates as the basis for calculating national eligibility error rates
for Medicaid and SCHIP.
