• Indiana was one of the first three states to be awarded a federal Level One Establishment grant in May 2011. $6.9 million was given the Indiana Department of Insurance and Family and Social Services Administration, to update their information technology systems, develop a financial management plan, and acquire legal, actuarial, and financial expertise.

• In September 2010 the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration was given a federal Exchange Planning grant of $1 million.

• Since Indiana has not determined a benchmark EHB plan, the state will default to the largest small-group plan.

• The federal government will assume responsibility for running the exchange in 2014.
