...Evaluating Eligibility Rules Sarah Wegner HSM/240 January 25, 2015 Ricardo Castro Evaluating Eligibility Rules The Salvation Army of the U.S.A. is held in high esteem by the public as an excellent community and human services provider. This program is a compilation of programs under the principle of service through the word of Jesus Christ. They state as their mission: “The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination” (2009). The Salvation Army application of rules for prior contributions, administrative performance, private contract arrangements, use of professional discretion and confidentiality, attachment to the workforce, and application of proper judgment (2005) allow for best practices to be applied. They also use means testing which applies an analysis of need less assets plus income. All of these factors speak well for them in making an evaluation of this organization. Regardless of any other eligibility requirements, The Salvation Army offers its services to anyone who is in need. Anyone who is affected by a disaster can qualify for services through their programs. This is a simple process because of the fact that The Salvation Army acts as a second responder which makes it easier for them to accept many families...

...Evaluating Eligibility Rules HSM 240 Rules are important in every aspect of life. Eligibility rules are equally important for any kind of services offered, especially those offered to assist the general public. The Arc program, as well the local Chemung Arc, is an organization developed to assist those with developmental disabilities and just like every other organization, it has eligibility rules for the people it assists and services. ARC has eligibility requirements that most would consider not too difficult to establish. Any person with any kind of intellectual or developmental disability is accepted into the ARC program, where services vary depending upon need. The catch to these services is the way a person and/or their family will able to financially make the decision to join the organization. The eligibility rules for such programs as Medicare and Medicaid may be the toughest rules to fall into. Being defined as intellectually or developmentally disabled is done by a doctor, usually at a very young age. Being diagnosed as disabled by a doctor falls under: eligibility by professional discretion. Once diagnosed, unfortunately lots of doors and opportunities close for a person. In order to successfully go to ARC for assistance in opening these doors back up, Medicaid is a popular route to take for financial assistance. Information on applying for Medicaid services is very limited online. ARC states, “Medicaid is, however, extremely complicated” (The ARC, 2013)....

...SAP Eligibility Rules Jeanine Jones University of Phoenix HSM/240 December 10, 2013 In an organization, eligibility rules are so important because they allow clients to receive benefits and services. Eligibility rules seek the resources that are available to the clients and ration them so that people can learn and benefit from resources. Sometimes when the eligibility rules are not correctly propositioned, people will not even the available resources. Decisions need to be made and whether a person qualifies for assistance falls between guidelines that are set into place for the greater good of the clients. The Substance Abuse Program is an important organization whose eligibility rules matter the most because the inmates have already been stripped of all of their rights. The main eligibility process for the Substance Abuse Program is through Judicial Decision. Because the Substance Abuse program is only offered to incarcerated inmates and this opportunity is handed down by a judicial ruling. Inmates may plead their case to the court, and in many instances they know that being accepted into the program means reduced sentencing. Instead of focusing on getting out of custody to return to the same habits, inmates should really appreciate the special program that they are limited to. Judicial decisions are important because each ruling is different. The Substance Abuse Program has been around through the correction facility for a while and there are certain...

...However, in recent times, more and more individuals have become disabled. Today, more than 11 million people collect SSDI as compared to the 2.7 million in 1970. The number of people who claim disability has increased for many reasons. In 1984, Congress broadened the eligibility for SSDI, which led to an influx of disability claims for people with back pain, arthritis, and mental illnesses. Also, disability benefits pay much more than they used to in the past, and due to the better benefits, it causes people to lose their incentive to work and get off disability. People who are looking for free and easy money often leap from program to program and use whichever one has the best benefits. The only way to save SSDI so that the citizens who actually need it can still receive it is to cut the budget. The most obvious way to do this is to restrict the amount of people who are allowed to receive SSDI benefits. Lastly, if the agency were to provide better work incentives for those who receive SSDI, then there would...

...The definition of nursing practice is based by each states rules and regulations to govern the practice of nursing within that state. All nurses practice acts include two essential purposes.

...clustered into particular majors(Renick, 1974). The first academic study of academic clustering was followed up by Case, Greer & Brown in 1987 (Case, et al., 1987). Academic clustering occurs in all sports, but are more prevalent in basketball and football. In relation to athletic sports, football has had the most players to participate in a single major. The redundancy of enrolling athletes in the same major are high. It is not uncommon for athletes to share the same interest in majors, but it is an issues when these athletes are push towards particular major. The NCAA has created sanctions and rules to govern these athletic teams, to make sure they are meeting universities and NCAA standards. Manipulation of these rules and sanctions occurs all the time. For example, switching majors of a starting player who was ineligible to play in the previous game. To avoid issues with athletes eligibility, coaches and advisers per sway athletes into “friendly majors”. Fountain and Finely analyzed official media guides of Division I teams and members of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) conference. With-in these majors, the coaches, advisers and athletes creating a “path of least resistance” (Fountain & Finley, 2009). Fountain and Finely identified...

...Michael P. Murphy How Recruiting Violations and Academic Misconduct have effectively marred the Amateurism of College Athletics and a Proposal for a Local Solution IDST J497 Professor Timothy C. Williams November 30, 2012 Fall 2012 Recruiting Violations and Academic Misconduct in College Athletics Michael P. Murphy IDST J497 Williams The issues of recruiting violations, academic misconduct, administrative negligence, illegal booster involvement, and a general lack of University oversight are all problems that continue to mar the once highly regarded reputations of academic institutions across America. These transgressions, which occur at shockingly consistent rates around campuses nationwide, (committed by faculty, coaches, players, administrators, and alumni), are effectively compromising the sacred amateurism college athletics has maintained to define its culture and provide credence for its illustrious traditions for over a century. Ethical questions of this magnitude have been pondered by academics and legal stalwarts alike with great depth both at the local and global level for years. Several studies reflect that a substantial percentage of the “major” NCAA recruiting violations and cases of egregious academic misconduct occur typically at institutions where local administrators and financiers have created a “win at all costs” culture pertaining to BCS (Bowl Championship Series) football and the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. A handful of local schools...

...1A. Benefits that SEC believes will result from global accounting standardization through convergence: The SEC encourages the convergence of IFRS and GAAP because it believes that doing so will benefit U.S investors. The incorporation of IFRS in GAAP will protect the investors, maintain the fair representation of financial statements and increase comparability and material information for investors to make better decisions. The primary benefit will be the reduction in discrepancies in financial statements among different countries around the world. “SEC, with convergence, wants to reduce regulatory impediments to cross-border capital transactions that result from disparate national accounting standards.” [3] As noted on pages 5 and 8, paragraph 2 and 3 respectively, some additional benefits are: ● “Greater comparability for investors across firms and industries on a global basis; ● Reduced listing costs for companies with multiple listings; ● Increased competition among exchanges; ● Better global resource allocation and capital formation; ● Lowered cost of capital ● A higher global economic growth rate ● Improved financial statement comparability among companies worldwide; ● Streamlined accounting processes for multinational companies; and ● Easier access to foreign capital and improved liquidity, leading to a reduced cost of capital” [5,8] 1B.
