Case Study: Global Village Name: My Global Village question: The answer to my Global Village question: The research source: A classification of the scenario’s stratification system: Welfare Redesigned: A New Republican Policy The Republican Welfare Revision Policy By Policy Advisor: Lacey Sampson The Problem “Approximately 52.2 million (or 21.3 percent) people in the U.S. participated in major means-tested government assistance programs each month in 2012, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released today.”1 We have over three hundred million Americans, and almost one-fourth of those are receiving Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Supplemental Security Income, Women Infant and Children benefits, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Public house or housing subsidies, or some other form of federal cash assistance program. The government transfer payments programs are costing the United States federal government billions in their annual budget due to administrative costs and misuse of the program. The United States is sinking into a debt far greater than any generation will be able to overcome. The welfare programs in the United States need to be overhauled. The Solution Currently, the federal government gives a portion of the taxes that are collected from citizens to each State for the distribution of welfare. In the Welfare Redesigned program, States would collect their own taxes, and distribute them to the citizens in welfare programs. The States already proportion their allotment of government funding out to the recipients of the welfare programs. The Republican Party believes that the States should take full responsibility of collecting the taxes and redistributing the wealth as per their citizen’s needs. “We propose to let them do all that and more by block-granting the program to the States, providing the States with the flexibility to design programs that meet the needs of their low income citizens.”2 Aside from allowing the States to allocate their own funding for the programs, the GOP still wishes to aid the States by providing tax incentives to citizens currently on programs, such as Medicaid, to move into a private insurance company. Giving the states the power to tax and distribute will also empower them to encourage citizens to work their way off of the welfare programs. Paying for the Policy This policy effectively pays for itself. The States would have to individually begin collecting taxes for the programs, and the federal government would have to allow for funding to the States while their programs are developed. Once a State has their program ready to transition citizens from federally funded to state funded aid, the federal government would no longer collect FICA tax for that state’s citizens. This would lower the administrative workload for many government employees, and assist the federal government in a budget renovation. The federal government would allow 5 years for the States to b ...

The document summarizes concerns from Kansas legislators about additional state spending required by federally funded programs. It notes that in fiscal year 2016, Kansas agencies will need to spend an estimated $2 billion on cost-sharing obligations for over 500 federal programs. It also discusses conditions placed on federal funds, penalties for noncompliance, and how some national policies have been tied to federal funding with mixed legal challenges. The Supreme Court ruled that Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act was coercively tied to all federal Medicaid funds.
Medicaid expansion issues to be considered
House Bill 148 proposes expanding Medicaid eligibility in Alaska as well as making other changes to the state's Medicaid program. If expanded, Medicaid eligibility would include able-bodied adults up to 138% of the federal poverty level. The federal government would pay 90-100% of coverage costs for newly eligible individuals through 2020, though specifics beyond 2020 are unknown. However, the state would still be responsible for 50% of administrative expenses. In addition to Medicaid expansion, HB 148 would expand Denali KidCare and add new Medicaid programs and options, but it does not propose specific reforms to address the existing problems in Alaska's Medicaid system. There is uncertainty around how many newly eligible individuals would enroll and what the overall costs of expansion would be

Project Assignment 2
The document discusses deficiencies in the Affordable Care Act related to Medicaid eligibility and funding. It argues that Medicaid eligibility should be expanded to cover more low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it states that the eligibility criteria should be changed to just below the income level of the middle class. It also argues that the government needs to better manage healthcare spending and could generate new funding by legalizing and taxing marijuana, with states required to spend a percentage on Medicaid. This would help increase access to healthcare for low-income individuals.

This document summarizes New York State's proposed 2011-12 budget and its impact on kinship care programming. It outlines concerns that the proposal would lump kinship care funding with other programs, cut total funding to 50%, and distribute funding through an unspecified formula. This could reduce kinship care funding levels and monitoring. The document details advocacy efforts to remove kinship care from this proposal and fully fund it at $3 million without a local match requirement. Advocates will provide programs with information, meet with legislators, encourage public outreach, and use media to emphasize that kinship care saves money compared to foster care costs.

This document summarizes a report that examines the farm subsidy payments received by 33 current Montana legislators from 1995 to 2009. It finds that the total payments to farms and ranches owned by these legislators was $7,055,618. The legislator whose farm received the most was Rep. Janna Taylor, whose Twin Creek Ranch received over $1 million. The report analyzes payments by county, region of Montana, political party, and legislative chamber, finding that most beneficiaries were Republican legislators from eastern Montana. It notes the hypocrisy of legislators who criticize government spending while personally benefitting from farm subsidy programs.

Social Work Research Program EvaluationMajor federal legisl.docx
Social Work Research: Program Evaluation
Major federal legislation was enacted in 1996 related to welfare reform. Financial assistance programs at the national level for low-income families have been in place since the mid-1960s through the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or welfare reform, created TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). Major components of the new TANF program were to limit new recipients of cash aid to no more than 2 years of TANF assistance at a time and to receive no more than 5 years of combined TANF assistance with other service programs during their lifetimes. The goal was to make public assistance a temporary, rather than a long-term, program for families with children. Beyond these general rules, each of the 50 states was given substantial latitude to adopt requirements to fit their own objectives. The new law also allowed states that reduced their public assistance expenses to keep whatever support was already being provided by the federal government for use at their own discretion. This was seen as a way to encourage states to reduce welfare dependency.
In response, the state of California decided to call its new program CalWORKs, the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids program. CalWORKs is California’s application of the new TANF federal law. Like most of the other states, CalWORKs provided its 58 counties with a fair amount of discretion in how to implement the new provisions. Some counties chose to develop strong upfront “employment-first” rules that mandated recipients be employed as soon as possible. Others chose a response that included testing and assessment and the provision of education and training services.
One of the largest counties in the San Francisco Bay Area developed several options for CalWORKs recipients, including immediate job readiness (Job Club) help, remedial education for recipients lacking basic skills, and vocational training at local community colleges and adult education centers for those seeking higher level education and skills. Recipients could take up to 5 years to complete these activities and even longer in certain circumstances to maximize their chances of success. Recipients were predominantly single mothers. If recipients fully complied with the rules, they received a variety of financial incentives, while those who did not comply received sanctions that often resulted in reduced benefit levels. The county provided grants to a wide array of education, training, and service programs to work as partners in serving the needs of participants.
In 1996, the county’s CalWORKs program enrolled approximately 22,000 families in various forms of public assistance programs. Of these, approximately 10,000 elected to participate in one of the education and training programs, 9,000 elected to attend intensive job placement .
Unit+1,+chapter+3,+federalism
This document discusses different types of governmental structures and federalism in the United States. It describes unitary, confederal, and federal systems of government. It then outlines arguments for and against federalism, including dividing power to prevent tyranny, increasing citizen participation, and allowing states to experiment with public policies. It also discusses the constitutional basis for federalism in the US and how views of federalism have changed over time, moving from a dual federalism model to cooperative federalism with increased federal grants.
MedicaidFinal
Medicaid was established in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson as a federal-state program to provide health coverage for low-income individuals and families. It has since expanded coverage to additional groups like children, pregnant women, the disabled, and the elderly. States administer their own Medicaid programs within federal minimum guidelines for eligibility and covered services. Both the federal and state governments jointly fund Medicaid, with the federal contribution varying by state based on per capita income. Over time, Medicaid has grown to cover over 60 million Americans and account for a significant portion of state budgets.
Michigan EBT
The document discusses changes to Michigan's food assistance program that will no longer allow college attendance alone to qualify recipients for benefits. Supporters argue it aligns with the program's purpose of helping those in need and decreases waste, while opponents say some students will suffer without enough assistance from family. Statistics show around 20,000 of the 1.9 million recipients in Michigan may be impacted. The document examines perspectives on both sides and provides recommendations.
Food stamps final1
This document discusses Michigan's food assistance program and recent changes to eligibility requirements. It provides background on the federal Food Assistance Program (FAP) and how benefits are administered through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. Currently, college students in Michigan qualify for food assistance but new policies will require recipients to care for children, be unfit for work, work at least 20 hours per week, or participate in job training. While some students argue they deserve the assistance, others believe the program should only help those most in need as it uses federal funds. The Michigan Department of Human Services will enforce the new work requirements starting in April.

The document discusses changes to Michigan's food assistance program requirements to align with federal guidelines. Specifically, it outlines that college students will no longer be exempt from work requirements to receive benefits and will need to work at least 20 hours per week, care for children, or have a physical or mental disability. This is an issue because many college students rely on food assistance and believe they deserve the benefits as they work towards becoming productive members of society. Supporters of the change argue it makes the program guidelines consistent and only helps those truly in need by meeting income and work criteria like other recipients.
State Policy Paper 2013 Draft
- Louisiana faces a $1.3 billion state budget shortfall for FY 2013-2014. The governor's budget proposes cuts to address this.
- The document advocates for expanding Medicaid in Louisiana under the Affordable Care Act, which would insure 400,000 people and inject $15.7 billion into the state economy by 2022. This would benefit safety net providers like community health centers.
- It supports several bills that would standardize Medicaid processes, increase transparency, integrate behavioral health services, and prohibit smoking near state buildings to improve public health.

Serious misgivings medicaid expansion and house bill 148
House Bill 148 proposes expanding Medicaid in Alaska, but Rep. Liz Vazquez has serious misgivings. If passed, the bill would cost an uncertain amount due to unreliable enrollment projections. It could drain hundreds of millions from Alaska's $3.5 billion budget deficit. There are concerns that promised federal funding may not continue as expected, existing Medicaid groups could face cuts, and the expansion may increase emergency room usage contrary to goals.

The document summarizes highlights from Ohio's proposed state budget bill HB 153 for fiscal years 2012-2013. It discusses funding cuts to areas like education, Medicaid, and mental health services while Medicaid caseloads increase. Concerns are raised that more cuts may come in the next budget and the long-term impacts on health and human services are uncertain given over 5,000 pages of policy changes with little detail. Advocates call for more investment in areas like child welfare, mental health, and foodbanks to adequately meet growing needs.
Presentation on Taxes
Taxes are collected by the government to fund federal spending and services based on powers granted in the Constitution. There are direct taxes paid by property owners and indirect taxes paid by consumers. The income tax became a major revenue source in 1913 and 1918. Government spending includes controllable spending set annually by Congress and uncontrollable entitlement programs. The public debt has increased over time as borrowing is used to fund deficits when spending exceeds revenue.
Kinship Advocacy in New York State
The document discusses New York state's proposed budget for kinship care programming for 2011-2012. It proposes lumping various programs including kinship care together and cutting total funding to 50%, leaving distribution of funds up to local municipalities. This proposal lacks details on funding levels for kinship care and how programs would be evaluated. It could result in current programs closing or having uncertain future funding. Advocates plan to provide information to kinship care programs, launch a website for updates, meet with legislators, and begin a press campaign highlighting that kinship care saves the state money compared to foster care. They are asking that 10% of the proposed funding be dedicated to kinship programming.
Running Head CALWORKS FAMILY BENEFIT PROGRAM1CALWORKS FAMILY.docx
The document discusses the CalWORKs Family Benefit Program, which provides financial assistance and services to low-income families in California. It describes some of the current issues and deficiencies with the program's policies. These include a focus on cost-cutting over assistance, disagreements between political parties that have hindered reforms, and variation between counties in program implementation. The document then provides suggestions for improving the policies, such as implementing more effective employment assistance programs and increasing self-sufficiency among welfare recipients.
Cooperative federalism
Medicare was established in 1965 to provide health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older or younger people with disabilities. It is a federal program run by the government that guarantees coverage to over 48 million people. While expensive initially, the government has taken steps to control costs such as moving procedures to outpatient settings and slowing spending growth.

Serious misgivings medicaid expansion and house bill 148
House Bill 148 proposes expanding Medicaid in Alaska, but Rep. Liz Vazquez has serious misgivings. If passed, the bill would cost an uncertain amount due to unreliable enrollment projections. It could drain hundreds of millions from Alaska's $3.5 billion budget deficit. There are concerns that promised federal funding may not continue as expected, existing Medicaid groups could face cuts, and the expansion may increase emergency room usage contrary to goals.

The document summarizes highlights from Ohio's proposed state budget bill HB 153 for fiscal years 2012-2013. It discusses funding cuts to areas like education, Medicaid, and mental health services while Medicaid caseloads increase. Concerns are raised that more cuts may come in the next budget and the long-term impacts on health and human services are uncertain given over 5,000 pages of policy changes with little detail. Advocates call for more investment in areas like child welfare, mental health, and foodbanks to adequately meet growing needs.
Presentation on Taxes
Taxes are collected by the government to fund federal spending and services based on powers granted in the Constitution. There are direct taxes paid by property owners and indirect taxes paid by consumers. The income tax became a major revenue source in 1913 and 1918. Government spending includes controllable spending set annually by Congress and uncontrollable entitlement programs. The public debt has increased over time as borrowing is used to fund deficits when spending exceeds revenue.
Kinship Advocacy in New York State
The document discusses New York state's proposed budget for kinship care programming for 2011-2012. It proposes lumping various programs including kinship care together and cutting total funding to 50%, leaving distribution of funds up to local municipalities. This proposal lacks details on funding levels for kinship care and how programs would be evaluated. It could result in current programs closing or having uncertain future funding. Advocates plan to provide information to kinship care programs, launch a website for updates, meet with legislators, and begin a press campaign highlighting that kinship care saves the state money compared to foster care. They are asking that 10% of the proposed funding be dedicated to kinship programming.

The document discusses the CalWORKs Family Benefit Program, which provides financial assistance and services to low-income families in California. It describes some of the current issues and deficiencies with the program's policies. These include a focus on cost-cutting over assistance, disagreements between political parties that have hindered reforms, and variation between counties in program implementation. The document then provides suggestions for improving the policies, such as implementing more effective employment assistance programs and increasing self-sufficiency among welfare recipients.
Cooperative federalism
Medicare was established in 1965 to provide health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older or younger people with disabilities. It is a federal program run by the government that guarantees coverage to over 48 million people. While expensive initially, the government has taken steps to control costs such as moving procedures to outpatient settings and slowing spending growth.

Student Response #1 – Shannon
During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

A researcher plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)

The governing board of Religious hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Religious’ units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.
You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list. Because you know there were about two dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Describe the five (5) important elements of the governing board’ s agenda for areas of improvement in core functions.
Many organizations now use a balanced scorecard or multiple dimensions of performance measurement, such as productivity, profit, market trends, quality, patient satisfaction, and worker satisfaction. Describe three (3) key performance dimensions (other than those mentioned here) and include specific measures that Religious Health Care could use to improve overall institutional performance.
Determine the performance measures Religious Health Care could use to evaluate nursing staff performance in its Emergency Room. Explain the rationale for each performance measure.

Week 7 Exercise Prosocial BehaviorMuch of what we tend to focus.docx
Week 7 Exercise: Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering.
You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc...). This assignment will be more meaningful if you are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers, but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others' reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing any references used in APA format.

Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial Reports
The collapse of Enron in the early 2000s, which was a result of massive financial manipulation, gave rise to a new era of financial reporting supervision with the establishment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. The Act required all executives to give certified and accurate financial information. Various mechanisms were put in place to reduce financial accounting irregularities (Cunningham, 2005). Managers are therefore required to have a clear understanding of the regulations put in place and the bodies which enforce them in order to conform with them accordingly.
Issuance of financial reports and sale of securities to the public is monitored by such organizations as:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has developed the financial accounting standards to be used in the U.S. since 1973. Its function is to oversee the preparation of financial reports by non-governmental entities. FASB ensures that financial statements contain information relevant for sound decision making. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been charged with the statutory authority of establishing reporting standards for U.S. public companies. Although it does not develop the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), it has power to monitor financial reporting. The SEC seeks its authority from three security laws: The Securities Act of 1933 (SEC, 2012b), The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC, 2012c), The Investment Company Act of 1940 (SEC, 2012a), The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SEC, 2005), and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (SEC, 2014).
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA) regulates securities firms conducting business with the public in the U.S. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) develops and Publishes International Financial Reporting Standards through the help of its 15-full time members from different countries working with stakeholders all over the world.
The usefulness of financial reports to readers depends on report quality. The conceptual framework for financial reporting categorizes qualitative characteristics of financial reports into two broad categories: fundamental qualitative characteristics, which include relevance and faithful representation, and enhancing qualitative characteristics, which make financial reports more useful and include comparability, timeliness, verifiability, and understandability. Presentation of financial reporting is limited by materiality and cost constraints. There exist differences in U.S. reporting requirements and the international requirements, although efforts have been undertaken to congregate the U.S. GAAP rules with the international financial reporting rules (Oxford Analytica, 2009). Differences in U.S. reporting req.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Case Study Global VillageNameMy Global Village question.docx
- 1. Case Study: Global Village Name: My Global Village question: The answer to my Global Village question: The research source: A classification of the scenario’s stratification system: Welfare Redesigned: A New Republican Policy The Republican Welfare Revision Policy By Policy Advisor: Lacey Sampson The Problem “Approximately 52.2 million (or 21.3 percent) people in the U.S. participated in major means-tested government assistance programs each month in 2012, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released today.”1 We have over three hundred million Americans, and almost one-fourth of those are receiving Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Supplemental Security Income, Women Infant and Children benefits, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Public house or housing subsidies, or some other form of federal cash assistance program. The government transfer payments programs are costing the United States federal government billions in their annual budget due to administrative costs and misuse of the program. The United States is sinking into a debt far greater than any generation will be able to overcome. The welfare programs in the United States need to be overhauled.
- 2. The Solution Currently, the federal government gives a portion of the taxes that are collected from citizens to each State for the distribution of welfare. In the Welfare Redesigned program, States would collect their own taxes, and distribute them to the citizens in welfare programs. The States already proportion their allotment of government funding out to the recipients of the welfare programs. The Republican Party believes that the States should take full responsibility of collecting the taxes and redistributing the wealth as per their citizen’s needs. “We propose to let them do all that and more by block-granting the program to the States, providing the States with the flexibility to design programs that meet the needs of their low income citizens.”2 Aside from allowing the States to allocate their own funding for the programs, the GOP still wishes to aid the States by providing tax incentives to citizens currently on programs, such as Medicaid, to move into a private insurance company. Giving the states the power to tax and distribute will also empower them to encourage citizens to work their way off of the welfare programs.
- 3. Paying for the Policy This policy effectively pays for itself. The States would have to individually begin collecting taxes for the programs, and the federal government would have to allow for funding to the States while their programs are developed. Once a State has their program ready to transition citizens from federally funded to state funded aid, the federal government would no longer collect FICA tax for that state’s citizens. This would lower the administrative workload for many government employees, and assist the federal government in a budget renovation. The federal government would allow 5 years for the States to begin collecting their own taxes and transitioning their citizens. The federal government would have to aid the States until they’re fully funded by their citizens, but the cuts made to the federal government’s budget, once the transition is complete, make up for this aid.

Gives the States power to ensure eligibility and follow up with each recipient as often as possible. Takes out the “middle man” for collection and redistribution Federal budget can cut the cost of the programs
- 8. 4 The Current Welfare Program is Outdated The dependency on the federal welfare programs has not grown immensely. However, with inflation, the cost of these programs has grown substantially. 5 Schedule for Welfare Redesigned States will have 2 years for designing their program States will have 3 years until they must begin collecting and allocating taxes for the program States will have 5 years until all of their citizens must be transition into the State funded program States will receive supplemental funding for 7 years from the date of the Welfare Redesigned program begins
