## Provisions PRIA read

- Child welfare services continue through March: benefit, medium. Child welfare and family services continue through March 8, 2024. The government provides the funds needed to keep services running during that time.
- Keeps clinics and doctor training funded: benefit, medium. The law funds Community Health Centers with about $690.4 million (Nov 18–Jan 19) and $537.0 million (Jan 20–Mar 8). It gives the National Health Service Corps about $53.5 million, then $41.6 million for those periods. It gives Teaching Health Centers graduate medical education about $21.8 million,…
- Public health emergency tools extended: benefit, medium. Several national public health authorities now run through March 8, 2024. This keeps federal emergency health tools and programs available to protect communities during that time.
- Keeps diabetes programs funded: benefit, low. The Type 1 diabetes program gets about $25.9 million (Nov 18–Jan 19) and $20.1 million (Jan 20–Mar 8). The Special Diabetes Program for Indians gets about $25.9 million, then $20.1 million for those periods. This keeps research and tribal diabetes care going through March 8, 2024.
- Teen health education grants continue: benefit, low. From Jan 20 to Mar 8, 2024, the law continues Personal Responsibility Education and Sexual Risk Avoidance grants. Funding equals the pro rata share of the same period in FY2023. This keeps local teen health education programs operating for that short time.
- Compacts of Free Association extended: benefit, low. Parts of the Compacts of Free Association are extended until March 8, 2024. Existing program rules and benefits under those compacts stay in effect during that time.
- Homeland Security counter-drone powers extended: benefit, low. Homeland Security counter-drone powers stay in effect until March 9, 2024. The agency can keep using counter-drone tools to protect public safety in that period.
- Medicaid hospital cuts delayed, fund reduced: mixed, high. The law delays scheduled cuts to Medicaid hospital DSH payments until March 9, 2024. It also lowers the Medicaid Improvement Fund cap from about $5.80 billion to $5.14 billion per year. That postpones some hospital cuts but reduces a separate Medicaid funding pool.
- Medicare pay floor extended, fund cut: mixed, low. The law keeps the Medicare geographic payment floor in place until March 9, 2024. It also cuts the Medicare Improvement Fund by $53 million (from $2,250,795,056 to $2,197,795,056). This briefly holds up some payments but trims a funding reserve.
- Deficit scorecard rules waived: mixed, low. This division’s budget effects are not entered on PAYGO scorecards or certain allocation tables. Congress counts these dollars outside those deficit rules for this law.
