The Ohio Department of Medicaid has announced changes to streamline the Medicaid program by eliminating spend-down after August 2016.

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 Assis-
tance 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 chil-
dren. 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 appli-
cation of the new TANF federal law. Like most of the other states,
CalWORKs provided its 58 counties with a fair amount of discre-
tion 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 approxi-
mately 22,000 families in various forms of public assistance
programs. Of these, approximatel.

Infinity Hospice follows the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). The NHPCO offers professionals in hospice care a ‘Guide to Organizational Ethics in Hospice Care as a resource to hospice programs and professionals” (NHPCO, 2016). The organization’s core policies are driven by their values and mission statement. Infinity Hospice priority is to enhance their patient’s quality of life and help them live in dignity and comfort. They offer ‘dependability’ to the patient and to their loved one during their time of need for 24/7 care. Infinity Hospice Care’s mission is to bring comfort and value to our community. Our core values guide our team in providing the best family hospice and palliative care possible. If you and your family find balance with our mission and core values, we encourage you to speak to us.
The organizations second core policy is having a trusting team of experts. They have an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, counselors, and volunteers who work together to support each patient and their family. To accomplish this, Infinity Hospice provides the following hospice home services:
Medical care
Pain management needs
Spiritual counseling
Bereavement and grief counseling
Medical supplies and durable equipment
Every two weeks, all professionals from each discipline meet to discuss cases to find solutions for the challenges to the patients care. The third policy is ‘a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of others.’ This organization understands that at times caring for an individual and providing a supportive system to their family will mean going above and beyond care standards to deliver excellence. Infinity Hospice policy is committed to making the patient’s life better through the following actions:
Assess each patient’s pain and comfort during each in house hospice visit
Attentively listen and take action on family needs
Continually search for creative ways to enhance your loved one’s quality of life
Nurture the desire to make a difference in our team’s lives by supporting a healthy work/life balance
Unavoidably in healthcare there are policy implication and barriers that arise in care. Infinity is driven to enrich the lives of those who are at the end-of-life. However, barriers to Medicaid, Medicare and in the state of Nevada, Culinary Health insurance all have their own policies in which patient eligibility often factors into their quality of life. Social workers could greatly improve the effectiveness of policy and service efforts designed.
