    This Act may be cited as the ``Exchange Verification of Eligibility 
to Receive Income-Related Funds for Individuals'' or the ``Requiring E-
VERIFI Act''.

SEC. 2. CONDITIONING PROVISION OF PREMIUM AND COST-SHARING SUBSIDIES 
              UNDER THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT UPON

verifies, consistent with section 1411 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 18081), 
the household income and coverage requirements of individuals applying 
for such credits and cost-sharing reduction reductions.
