This presentation from David Idala (The Hilltop Institute at University of Maryland, Baltimore County) provides an overview of Maryland's effort to conduct targeted outreach to Medicaid/CHIP-eligible children using information provided on state income tax forms and lays out the findings to date from a SHARE-funded evaluation of Maryland's effort.  The presentation concludes with lessons learned from the evaluation--emphasizing the lessons having to do with inter-agency data-sharing--and highlights opportunities to incorporate these lessons into tax-based outreach efforts under the ACA.
