...Recommendations Summary Discussions Recommendations References Appendix Chapter I Introduction The Department of Human Services in Arkansas offers a variety of services. Group 3 will focus on five specific services. These services include: Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA), Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formerly known as food stamps, Child Care Assistance (CCAP), and AR Kids First. The Department of Human Services is required by state law to: help individuals and families meet financial, medical, and social needs; assist people to become self-sufficient; and help protect children and adults from abuse, neglect and exploitation.

...Can alcoholics and drug addicts really get Social Security disability benefits? Not anymore. There never were all that many people getting Social Security disability benefits on account of alcoholism or drug addiction, but Congress has now prohibited Social Security from paying disability benefits on the basis of alcoholism or drug addiction. However, alcoholics and drug addicts have heart attacks, get cancer or get sick in other ways just like everyone else. Alcoholics and drug addicts who become disabled apart from their alcoholism or drug addiction can become eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Abstract Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI) is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program of the United States government. It is managed by the Social Security Administration and is designed to provide income supplements to people who are physically restricted in their ability to be employed because of a notable disability, usually a physical disability. SSD can be supplied on either a temporary or permanent basis, usually directly correlated to whether the person's disability is temporary or permanent There are many different types of disablities that are covered under SSDI. However, one area that has been under heavy debate is whether or not substance abuse should be considered a disablity and funded by SSDI. This study examined symptom severity and level of functioning in recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits...

...Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Holly Regan HSM/260 April 30, 2014 Greg O'Donnell Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance According to the University of Phoenix, the non-profit XYZ Corporation is incorporated as a 501(c)3 in the state of Texas. The organization’s mission is to provide psychiatric counseling services for residents of El Paso County. XYZ receives funding from the state government on an annual basis to provide services to those deemed to be medically indigent—that is, those residents who have an income less than 150% of the poverty level, based on federal poverty guidelines. Patients are required to pay a fee, which can be as low as $20.00 per visit, based on their income. XYZ employs a staff of four licensed professionals. As a result of the demand for the service and a clear need in the area, XYZ received additional funding in late 2003 to open a satellite office, (University of Phoenix, 2014, Week 7 Supplement). While searching for needed federal assistance programs, the director honed in on three plans specific to its growing target population which are AARA Grants to Health Center.

...----------------------- Help with HealthCare Resource for the uninsured i Statistics Nearly 18 percent of Coloradans lack health insurance, according to a report released by the U.S. Census Bureau but in some areas of the state that percentage is significantly higher. Relying on data from 2005, the Census Bureau calculated 17.7 percent of Coloradans — or 743,934 people — don’t have health insurance. Among all states, the uninsured problem is most severe in Texas, where 26.3 percent of its residents don’t have a health plan. The report covers people younger than 65; those 65 and older qualify for the government’s Medicare program. Across Colorado, the uninsured rate is as high as 37.8 percent, in Saguache County. More than a third of residents in San Juan, Phillips and Custer counties also are lacking health coverage. Breaking out the numbers along demographic lines, Hispanics in Colorado were more likely to be uninsured (35.3 percent) than blacks. Barriers To decrease health disparity age low socio-economic status language & cultural/religious beliefs personal biases Barrier to decreasing disparity in the uninsured need specific skills to match the unique and challenging needs of this group. Lack of financial resources, lack of options for consultation referrals, socioeconomic and cultural barriers, and a mistrust of health care providers are a few of the characteristics of this population that necessitate specific skills...

...In any medical setting the geriatric social worker should assess for Medicaid qualification and begin the process if qualifications are met. Medicaid assistance helps the elderly with low income to receive health care benefits and community assistance based on the type of coverage (Arnason, 2001). For the same case scenario, the SNF social worker can add on a home health social worker to follow up on the services and Medicaid application. Once approved, the resident should have the tools necessary to call the assigned Medicaid Quest health plan to assess qualification of home services to be implemented like the meals on wheels and chore services. Perhaps by this time the hip fracture has healed well and the resident has completed home health services. The home health therapist may have...
