Section 1311 of the Affordable Care Act provides funding assistance to the States for the planning and establishment of American Health Benefit Exchanges (?Exchanges?). The Affordable Care Act provides that each State may elect to establish an Exchange that would: 1) facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans; 2) provide for the establishment of a Small Business Health Options Program (?SHOP Exchange?) designed to assist qualified employers in facilitating the enrollment of their employees in QHPs offered in the SHOP exchange; and 3) meet other requirements specified in the Act. The funding awarded pursuant to this Funding Opportunity Announcement is intended to assist States with initial planning activities related to the potential implementation of the Exchanges. Grants will be awarded in amounts up to a maximum of $1 million per State, depending on the number and scope of activities for which funding is sought.
