Minn. Stat. § 62V.13

§ Subdivision 1. Establishment. The board, in cooperation with the commissioner of revenue, must establish the easy enrollment health insurance outreach program to: (1) reduce the number of uninsured Minnesotans and increase access to affordable health insurance coverage; (2) allow the commissioner of revenue to provide return information, at the request of the taxpayer, to MNsure to provide the taxpayer with information about the taxpayer's potential eligibility for financial assistance and health insurance enrollment options through MNsure; (3) allow MNsure to estimate taxpayer potential eligibility for financial assistance for health insurance coverage; and (4) allow MNsure to conduct targeted outreach to assist interested taxpayer households in applying for and enrolling in affordable health insurance options through MNsure, including connecting interested taxpayer households with a navigator or broker for free enrollment assistance.

§ Subd. 2. Screening for eligibility for insurance assistance. Upon receipt of and based on return information received from the commissioner of revenue under section 270B.14 , subdivision 22, MNsure may make a projected assessment on whether the interested taxpayer's household may qualify for a financial assistance program for health insurance coverage.
