House

1. Health care verification for immigrants: Passed, 238-184, a bill (HR 2581) that would require immigrants applying for premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act to submit their Social Security number to document their citizenship or legal status.

However, the bill rules out as verification the IRS-issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Number that aliens who lack Social Security numbers use to file federal tax returns.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.

2. Immediate health insurance for infants: Defeated, 193-231, a Democratic bid to ensure immediate health care coverage under HR 2581 (above) for newborns and infants up to 1 year old whose legal status cannot be promptly established because of the time it takes to obtain a Social Security number for meeting the bill’s verification requirement.

A yes vote was to adopt the Democratic motion.
