The Health and Human Service Programs and Benefits Eligibility and Delivery Data-Sharing Clarifications Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 aims to enhance data sharing within the Department of Human Services and between other District agencies. This is intended to streamline the process of determining eligibility for federal and District health and human service programs. The bill amends the Homeless Services Reform Act of 2005 by clarifying that data sharing must adhere to confidentiality requirements while allowing for authorized uses and mandatory disclosures as outlined in the Data-Sharing and Information Coordination Amendment Act of 2010. Specifically, it modifies sections 9(a)(7) and 12(12) to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the bill amends the Data-Sharing and Information Coordination Amendment Act of 2010 by redefining the term "agency" to include subdivisions of agencies, departments, units, authorities, or instrumentalities of the District government. It also alters the language in section 102(a) to replace "In accordance with section 103 and without" with "Without." The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, and it is set to expire 225 days after its enactment.
