This report describes the nine programs approved for Express Lane Eligibility (ELE) as of April 2012. The report found that states have implemented diverse ELE programs, and ELE has benefited applicants in some states by reducing documentation requirements and expediting eligibility determination. Administrative savings or costs varied widely; however, states using ELE to process large numbers of children were better able to generate net savings quickly than states not using ELE.
