Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families is issuing a final rule describing how we will award a bonus to those States that experience the largest decreases in out-of-wedlock childbearing and also reduce their abortion rates. The total amount of the bonus will be up to $100 million in each of fiscal years 1999 through 2002, and the award for each eligible State in a given year will be $25 million or less. This incentive provision is a part of the welfare reform block grant program enacted in 1996--the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, program.

[Board of appeals for decision on reimbursement of expenses for medical treatment abroad].

In Norway, a National Insurance Board decides whether patients treated abroad should have their expenses reimbursed. Its decisions may be appealed to an independent governmental board of appeals. This article presents the appeals procedure and discusses the experience gained over its first three years. The most important criterion for reimbursement is whether there is a lack of expertise in Norway on the relevant condition, which must be severe. A statement must be sought from a tertiary-level hospital about the proposed intervention. A referral or recommendation is not required. Reimbursement will not be considered for interventions defined as experimental, except in conditions that are so rare that the number of patients in Norway will be so small that one cannot expect large-scale randomised trials organised in this country. During its first three years, the board of appeals considered 184 cases; decisions were revered in 21 cases (11%). The appeals procedure remains well known among the public. Doctors should make themselves familiar with the criteria and the appeals procedure.

Welfare reform and American Indians: critical issues for reauthorization.

With reauthorization of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (P.L. 104-193) under consideration in Congress, this issue brief examines some key features of the welfare reform legislation as it applies to American Indians and reviews its impact on this population. It looks at the flexibility the act has given American Indian tribes to design and operate their own Temporary Assistance for Needy Families programs and explores barriers they face in doing so. The paper also examines some of the policy issues and opportunities surrounding welfare reform for American Indians.
