The contact with my insurance provider was prompted by my health care provider. My provider wanted me to complete a, Certificate of Dependent Eligibility, for my dependents. The dependent in this case is my daughter. This is an annual dependent eligibility verification to ensure all children ages 19-25 are still eligible for coverage. Failure to return a completed Certificate by the deadline could result in the loss of my daughter health care coverage. Previous years before, I had to call in to my benefit representative, mail the form in, or fax the form. This year the process was outsourced to a, Dependent Verification Center in Lincolnshire, IL. The company mailed me a form stating, that I could, mail the form, fax it, or go online:www.yourdependentverification.com/plan-smart-info.

COBRA was passed in 1986 and provides guidelines for continuous health coverage in case of sudden loss of a job or even death among other situations that cannot be avoided. Employees as well as employers have to participate in the program to make it effective. The employees are guided by the “Employee Benefits Security Administration” and the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act” to fill out forms of compliance. The law was designed to find temporary solutions for continued medical insurance so that the unemployed can still enjoy and access healthcare facilities despite the financial misfortunes that may render them unable to support themselves as well as their families as they find a permanent solution (Magill, 2009).

Affirmative action has been a controversial topic ever since it was established in the 1960s to right past wrongs against minority groups, such as African Americans, Hispanics, and women. The goal of affirmative action is to integrate minorities into public institutions, like universities, who have historically been discriminated against in such environments. Proponents claim that it is necessary in order to give minorities representation in these institutions, while opponents say that it is reverse discrimination. Newsweek has a story on this same debate which has hit the nation spotlight once more with a case being brought against the University of Michigan by some white students who claimed that the University’s admissions policies accepted minority students over them, even though they had better grades than the minority students. William Symonds of Business Week, however, thinks that it does not really matter. He claims that minority status is more or less irrelevant in college admissions and that class is the determining factor.

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program was developed to help needy families become self-sufficient.¹ The TANF program was created by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996.² TANF was created by The Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) out of the preexisting Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, which itself was created by Congress in 1935 as part of the Social Security Act.² There were some notable differences between the PRWORA and the TANF when it was created, the most noted differences were that the TANF allowed states to use TANF dollars to support child care, for job search support, social services,etc. and there were no requirements on how much could be spent on cash aid directly.² Also, the entitlement aspect of the PRWORA ended and states were not required to serve all eligible families/individuals.²
Federal laws and regulations requiring specific action from state and local governments without providing federal funding to pay for it are called “ unfounded mandates.”

Present-day Medicaid guidelines command eligibility to be sustained automatically every time the state has adequate evidence to validate young adult to continue to be covered. This is important because it eliminates the state to conduct eligibility reviews and saves the state money in the long run. Since many young adults may move around the state or out of state, it gives him access to insurance regardless of his location and not have to worry about any documents to sign to review his eligibility (Houshyar,
