The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting public comments on their plan to gather information from the public, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice provides the public a chance to comment on the necessity and usefulness of the proposed information collection, as well as ways to improve the collection process. CMS is specifically addressing the approval process for waivers related to health care-related taxes that states may apply for. Comments must be submitted by March 10, 2021, to assist in determining the impact on Federal financial participation.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) want to ask people for their thoughts on some forms they plan to use, and they have a short time to hear back. They're trying to figure out if these forms are helpful and if there are easier ways to use computers to fill them out.
