Notice of Hearing
Veterans Affairs
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to s. 45.35 (3), Stats., and interpreting s. 45.351 (1), Stats., the Department of Veterans Affairs will hold a public hearing as follows to consider the emergency rule revision to s. VA 2.02 (2) (b) 2., Wis. Adm. Code, relating to the Health Care Aid grant program.
Hearing Information
The hearing will be held as follows:
April 18, 1997 Wisconsin Veterans Home
Friday Marden Center
9:45 a.m. KING, WI
Analysis and Summary Prepared by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs
Under s. VA 2.01 (2) (b) 2, Wis. Adm. Code, the Department of Veterans Affairs is prohibited from expending more than $50,000 in any fiscal year as payment for denture claims under the Health Care Aid grant program. Because of unprecedented demand, the Department of Veterans Affairs projects that claims for payment of dentures during this fiscal year will exceed the $50,000 limit. The emergency rule will raise the limit by $95,000 for the current fiscal year and will, therefore, enable the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay for dentures included in treatment plans already received during this fiscal year.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule is not expected to have an adverse impact on small businesses.
Fiscal Estimate
The emergency rule revision will raise the limit for denture claims by $95,000 from $50,000.
