Legislation

December 22, 2005
S.Con.Res. 74-A concurrent resolution correcting the enrollment of H.R. 2863

December 19, 2005 - Deficit Reduction Act
Due to the late release of the bill text and the impending vote, we were not able to review the entire 774 pages.  This conference report provides $39.732 billion of savings over 5 years in the government's mandatory spending programs. (The Senate issue that stalled the bill earlier Friday evening (12/19) forced conferees to remove an additional $2 bill in savings from the bill, which is why this number is a somewhat lower than the number that appeared in news reports and the earlier press releases).

Title I: Agriculture (Conference talking points)

Title II:  Housing and Deposit Insurance Provisions
 
Title III--Digital Television Transition and Public Safety

Title IV: Transportation Provisions

Title V: Medicare (Conference talking points)
Risk Adjustment for Medicare Advantage Plans:  Phases out the "budget neutrality" requirement for current payment adjustments to Medicare Advantage Plans (Medicare HMOs).  Under current law, this requirement essentially holds some plans harmless when other plans' payments are increased (or "risk adjusted") for serving sicker Medicare beneficiaries.  ($6.5 billion in savings over five years)

Medicare Stabilization Fund:  Does not include the Senate's provision to eliminate the Medicare Stabilization Fund that will provide incentive payments to encourage preferred provider organizations (PPOs) to participate in Medicare across the country, beginning in 2007. 

Title VI: Medicaid and SCHIP

Title VII: Human Resources and Other Provisions (Conference talking points)
Total: Net Human Resources Savings of $1.3 billion, FY 2006-2010.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Child Care
Reauthorizes TANF through FY 2010 at current funding level and reauthorizes the national random sample study of child welfare through FY2010
Increases child care by $1 billion ($500 million more than the House-passed bill).

Welfare to Work: Gives Enforcement Power to HHS Secretary
Strikes the House-passed language which required a stringent 40-hour work week, with some education and dependent children exceptions, and replaces that with a new provision which requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations "to ensure consistent measurement of work participation rates under State programs.."  Not later than September 30, 2006, states much establish their own procedures for determining whether activities may be counted as work activities, how to count and verify hours of work, and who is a work-eligible individual in accordance with the regulations promulgated by the Secretary.

Penalties: The Secretary may reduce the grant payable to the state by at least one percent but not more than five percent, if he determines that a state has not established or complied with work participation verification procedures.
Increases effective TANF work rate target from 0 percent to 50 percent in FY 2007-2010 by rebasing caseload reduction credit to provide credit only for future caseload declines (i.e.. since FY 2005, not since FY 1995).

Marriage Promotion & Fatherhood Program:  Provides $150 million annually in federal funds for fiscal years 2006 through 2010, $750 million total, to fund fatherhood programs and healthy marriage promotion grants for healthy, married, 2-parent families.

Title VIII: Education and Pension Provisions

Title IX:  LIHEAP (Conference talking points)
