    On August 7, 2014, the President signed into law the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (“the Act,” Public Law 113-146, 128 Stat. 1754). Further technical revisions to the Act were made on September 26, 2014, when the President signed into law the Department of Veterans Affairs Expiring Authorities Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113-175, 128 Stat. 1901, 1906). Section 101 of the Act creates the Veterans Choice Program (“the Program”). Section 101 requires the Secretary to furnish hospital care and medical services to certain eligible veterans through agreements with identified eligible entities or providers. Sec. 101(a)(1)(A), Public Law 113-146, 128 Stat. 1754. Delivery of such care through non-VA health care providers will be at the election of eligible veterans. This interim final rulemaking primarily restates these mandates and prescriptions in a regulatory framework, and provides guidance where Congress' instructions were not clearly executable on the face of the law. Congress directed VA to publish interim final regulations concerning this program within 90 days of enactment. Sec. 101(n), Public Law 113-146, 128 Stat. 1754. This rulemaking complies with that mandate.…

    Hsm 240 Week 6 Evaluating Eligbility

    The HUD Public Housing Program uses several different methods to establish eligibility. Because of the agency using so many qualifications the first method of eligibility is by administrative rule and regulation. HA will begin to determine eligibility by reviewing the applicant’s income. If a certain criteria are met the applicant will qualify for the first part of the eligibility. By having set criteria, the process can move to portions of eligibility that may be more scrutinized. Another mean of checking for eligibility is using the means testing. If he or she exceeds the standard income they are not qualified to receive assistance. What is also looked at is the total assets which when combined by income are less than the standard level then the person can receive the benefit. Another eligibility method that is used is the administrative discretion. It is up to the social worker to review disability and more importantly the…

    Working with Medicaid

    To be eligible for Medicaid, certain guidelines have to be met that include requirements for people with low incomes. Each state has its own unique set of guidelines for determining an individual’s eligibility and services for Medicaid. Some of the factors evaluated include blindness, disability, age, and pregnancy, access to resources like bank accounts and property, and citizenship status (a legal immigrant or U.S. citizen). How income and resources are evaluated is different in each state and among each group of people. Children’s eligibility is determined from the child’s status and does not take the parent(s) into consideration. For disabled children who live at home and people who reside in nursing homes, special rules exist.…
