Eligibility Policies for the State AIDS Drug Assistance Programs

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter examines the way in which the actions of the state can infringe the Treaty. The Treaty contains a number of relevant provisions, including Article 4(3) TEU, and Articles 14, 34, 101, 102, 106, and 107-109 TFEU. While there are valid reasons for EU controls, the topics discussed raise important issues concerning the very nature of the EU. Thus, the jurisprudence under Article 106 has prompted questions about how far it is possible for a state to entrust certain activities to a public monopoly, or to a private firm that has exclusive rights. The UK version contains a further section analysing issues concerning state aids and the UK post-Brexit.

Abstract A survey of industrial forest management assistance and leasing programs indicated that a wide range of forest management services were provided to nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners in Georgia. In 1983, approximately 6% of the commercial NIPF land in the state was leased by forest industry and about 1% was covered under industry management assistance programs. Forest products firms site-prepared 50,000 acres, planted about 38,000, and hand seeded about 20,000 acres of NIPF land. Costs for services seemed similar to industry averages. Leasing programs have been maintained the longest and help in managing more NIPF land, but are decreasing somewhat in area covered. Management assistance programs are generally newer and smaller in Georgia, but are increasing moderately in size.²

<em>Abstract.</em>—An economic assessment of the commercial and recreational fisheries was undertaken in Mississippi from November 2005 to February 2006 to determine the level of damage sustained as a result of Hurricane Katrina. This assessment was a collaborative effort arising from the federal (National Marine Fisheries Service [NOAA Fisheries]) and state (Mississippi Department of Marine Resources [DMR]) government agencies’ urgent and compelling need to complete damage assessments in the affected areas in as short a period as possible. An accurate assessment of the damage created by this storm was needed to ensure that federal funds are both adequate and allocated to the appropriate sectors and recipients. The Mississippi State University– Coastal Research and Extension Center (CREC) and the Mississippi–Alabama Sea Grant Extension Program accepted the task of estimating the damages brought about by the hurricane to the state’s fishery resources and communities. The assessment of the impacts on the state commercial and recreational fisheries industries covered commercial seafood processors and dealers, the commercial fishing fleet, live-bait dealers, marinas, for hire charter boats, and land-based support facilities. Data were collected from survey questionnaires mailed to all resident vessels and facilities licensed in the state of Mississippi. In addition, personal interviews with fishermen and site visits of facilities were conducted in four coastal locations by DMR and CREC personnel. The results of the assessment indicated that all of the seafood processing plants, support facilities, and live-bait dealers, 86.7% of the commercial fleet, 60% of the seafood dealers, and 69% of the for-hire charter fleet that responded to the survey were damaged by the storm. Disaster assistance programs developed by NOAA Fisheries, which were approved by Congress in 2006, were administered by DMR to participating licensed operators of commercial fishing and for-hire charter boats. It is suggested that the hazardrelated decision-making processes of marine establishments and fishing community households need to be further evaluated to improve the overall mitigation process.

Federal Assistance

The 1950 amendments are substantial in scope and, when taken together with the changes made to the old-age and survivors insurance program, should have a profound effect on the state-federal assistance programs. State and federal assistance agencies will need time to work with these amendments before their exact effect can be assayed and future trends determined and changes planned. Several respects in which the state-federal assistance programs are deficient and in need of improvement are now well known. Assistance programs financed from state and federal funds still fall short of the objective of being available to any needy person. The new program for the permanently and totally disabled will meet some of the needs of persons previously not covered by a state-federal program. There are many disabled persons, however, who are equally in need but who are not permanently and totally disabled and who will not be aided under the new program. These individuals will be dependent upon state and local general assistance programs. In a number of states these programs are far from adequate and in some areas nonexistent. We also know that the direct payments for medical care, potentially, can be an important part of the assistance program. This plan cannot achieve its potential, however, without some additional money from the federal government either in the form of a separate provision in the formula governing the federal share for medical expenditures, or in the form of an increased average maximum on the assistance payments. Without such provisions, the usefulness of the new amendment to make direct payments for medical care will be limited. To the extent that states divert money from supplying maintenance needs to paying for medical care, the new amendment might actually reduce the amount of money available for meeting maintenance needs. With additional money, the medical care amendment can do a great deal to meet medical costs not now met by other programs such as health or rehabilitation. In this statement, I have attempted to analyze the new amendments and to evaluate their effect on the public assistance programs. Although the new amendments leave some deficiencies uncorrected, they have advanced the programs considerably and should result in a considerably improved state-federal plan for meeting the assistance needs of people.

This scientific article is devoted to the current issue of the year – the development of the social sphere and ways to improve the social protection of the Ukrainian population. The purpose of this article is to investigate the peculiarities of formation and development of the system of social protection of the population, its analysis and suggestions for improvement of the system of social protection of Ukraine. The research has revealed that an important place in the social policy of present-day Ukraine belongs to the system of social protection of the population. The extensiveness of social protection of the population depends on the social policy being reversed and, accordingly, on the volume of its financial support. Through the system of social protection are achieved certain goals of social policy, in particular the system of social protection. The main indicators of the standard of living of the population and social assistance programs, which were implemented in 2019, are reviewed. Based on the analysis of the state of social security of certain categories of people, the research identified the main directions of state regulation in the sphere of social protection of the population that require improvement. The Concept of Implementation of the State Policy on Social Protection of Population and Protection of Children's Rights. The implementation of this Concept, in our opinion, will increase the efficiency of social protection of the population due to the professional capacity of the social protection system employees, also to exercise control over the observance of legal requirements while providing social support and protection of children's rights.

Abstract. Water availability for a range of human uses will increasingly be affected by climate change especially in the arid and semi-arid tropics. This paper aims to evaluate the ability of reservoirs and related infrastructure to meet targets for water supply in the Capibaribe River Basin (CRB), in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The basin has experienced spatial and sectoral (agriculture-urban) reconfiguration of water demands. Human settlements that were once dispersed, relying on intermittent sources of surface water, are now increasingly experiencing water-scarcity effects. As a result, rural populations in the CRB are concentrating around infrastructural water supplies in a socio-hydrological transition process that results from (a) hydroclimatic variability, (b) investment and assistance programs that may enhance but can also supplant local adaptive capacity, and (c) demographic trends driving urbanization of the state capital, Recife, which mirror urban growth across Brazil. In the CRB, demands are currently composed of 69.1% urban potable water, 14.3% industrial, 16.6% irrigation (with ecosystem-service demands met by residual flow). Based on the application of linked hydrologic and water-resources models using precipitation and temperature projections of the IPCC SRES A1B scenario, a reduction in rainfall of 31.8% translated to streamflow reduction of 67.4% under present reservoir operations rules. The increasing demand due to population was also taken into account. This would entail severe water supply reductions for human consumption (−45.3%) and irrigation (−78.0%) by the end of the 21st century. This study demonstrates the vulnerabilities of the infrastructure system during socio-hydrological transition in response to hydroclimatic and demand variabilities in the CRB and also indicates the differential spatial impacts and vulnerability of multiple uses of water to changes over time. The paper concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of climate change, urbanization, and industrialization for water supply under socio-hydrological conditions of scarcity.
