Fed Regist. 1997 Jan 13;62(8):1682-5.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996 created changes in Federal law affecting the eligibility of large numbers of Medicaid recipients. These changes include revisions to the definition of disability for children and to the eligibility requirements of non-U.S. citizens and individuals receiving disability cash assistance based on a finding of alcoholism and drug addiction. This final rule with comment period protects Federal financial participation (FFP) in State Medicaid expenditures for states with unusual volumes of eligibility redeterminations caused by these recent changes in the law. We are making changes to the regulations to provide for additional time for States to process these redeterminations and provide services pending the redeterminations.
1996年的《个人责任与工作机会协调法案》以及1996年的《与美国进步契约法案》对联邦法律进行了修改，影响了大量医疗补助计划受助人的资格。这些变化包括对儿童残疾定义的修订，以及对非美国公民和因酗酒和吸毒成瘾而领取残疾现金援助的个人资格要求的修订。这条带有意见征求期的最终规则，针对因近期法律变化导致资格重新认定数量异常多的州，保护联邦政府对州医疗补助支出的财政参与（FFP）。我们正在对法规进行修改，以便为各州提供更多时间来处理这些重新认定，并在重新认定之前提供服务。
