The goals of this project were to describe the quality of care in board and care homes and how it varies across licensure and regulatory systems. Accomplishment of these objectives required a study design that incorporated several activities, including a major collection of new data. The study design included:

1 The Affordable Care Act consists of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152). In this paper, the term “Exchange” means “Health Insurance Marketplace.” 2 All references to eligibility in this document are inclusive of both Medi

Tables 1A and 1B support the hypothesis that net income and the amount of monthly disregards are correlated. Table 1A uses Arizona state data to show the distribution of average monthly disregards by income levels for Arizona parents who are in the expanded eligibility category permitted by Section 1931 of the Social Security Act. 19 Note that th

The Department also considered a number of methods that adjust for the income counting and household composition differences between MAGI and gross income.  Key Disregard/HCIC methods examined were: Same Number Net and MAGI (SNNM) Average Difference Marginal Difference For each of these methods, the analytic approach is similar to that

This section of the paper summarizes the Department’s analysis of the potential methods to reflect varying state disregards, and the reasons for its selection of the Standardized MAGI Conversion Methodology.  The Disregard Methods convert a state’s current Medicaid net income standard to an equivalent standard that accounts for disregards. 

The Department evaluated a number of potential conversion methodologies.  To inform this evaluation, it consulted with states, solicited public comments through a request for information (“Solicitation”) in June 2012, and worked with 10 pilot states to test the feasibility of potential conversion methodologies, including analyzing the impacts

The Affordable Care Act extends Medicaid to low-income adults and provides tax credits for coverage through the new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges). 1   A key component of these coverage expansions is the use of the tax concept of Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to assess financial eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s He

Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was established by the Social Security Act of 1935 as a grant program to enable states to provide cash welfare payments for needy children who had been deprived of parental support or care because their father or mother is absent from the home, incapacitated, deceased, or unemployed.  All 50 states,

It is of critical importance to understand the policy and program context that may surround changes in welfare dependence over time. As noted throughout this report, between-state, within-state and across-time variations are already happening as a result of the PRWORA provisions and are anticipated to become more diverse. Changes are expected in e

Although the abundance of program options presents a challenge to any data collection system, it is clear that the collection and reporting of state data on the nature and amount of assistance provided to eligible families under TANF will be much more valuable and descriptive of welfare receipt than national survey data alone 2 . The administrativ

The following tables and figures present data on caseloads, expenditures, and recipient characteristics of the AFDC and TANF programs. Trends in national caseloads and expenditures are shown in Figure TANF 1 and the first set of tables (Tables TANF 1-6). These are followed by information on characteristics of AFDC/TANF families (Table TANF 7) and
