On this motherboard, the AVX-512 response was different enough to warrant mentioning. Rather than enable a 4.6 GHz all-core turbo for AVX-512, it initially ramped up that high, peaking at 276 W, before reducing down to 4.4 GHz all-core, down to 225 W. This is quite a substantial change in behaviour:
The authors would like to thank Michele Adler and Lowell Ayre of ASPE, and Pat Doyle and Craig Thornton of Mathematica Policy Research, for their comments on previous drafts of this report.

When an SSI applicant or recipient is receiving in-kind support and maintenance from another person, then the Federal SSI benefit standard is reduced by one-third. Since the purpose of the SSI program is to provide financial assistance with basic living needs (food, clothing, shelter), this assistance is reduced when other sources of assistance are available. For example, if a 33-year-old woman with chronic mental illness is living in her sister's household, and does not contribute to room and board costs, then the maximum SSI payment she may receive is two-thirds the standard benefit level. In 1989, instead of receiving $368 per month from SSI (assuming she has no other income), she would receive $245.34.
As previously discussed, SSI benefits are reduced by one-third when a recipient is receiving in-kind support and maintenance in another person's household. Similarly, SSI benefits are reduced when recipients are receiving care in Medicaid-certified institutions such as nursing homes. Because Medicaid payments to the providers of such institutions include the costs of providing room and board, a lower SSI benefit standard is used. This lower benefit standard, called the Personal Needs Allowance (PNA), is $30 per month, and is intended to take care of small personal expenses for institutionalized persons. Of the approximately 2.8 million SSI disabled recipients receiving benefits in December 1987, 4.6 percent received reduced benefits as recipients of Medicaid-covered institutional care. Many persons who receive SSI benefits prior to entering a nursing home lose their benefits upon nursing home admission because their countable income exceeds this lower benefit standard o $30 per month.
States, at their option, may provide supplementary payments to Federal SSI benefits and all but seven States do so. The seven States which do not supplement SSI are Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. With regard to eligibility criteria for State supplementation payments, States have broad flexibility with regard to establishing "groups" of persons eligible for supplementation (as long as they are aged, blind, or disabled). Two dimensions that are frequently used by States in establishing eligible groups are: (a) living arrangement; and (b) functioning level. For example, many States establish eligibility categories by different levels of residential care (i.e. various types of board-and-care homes) related to the amount of care and supervision provided by the residential care provider. Further, many States establish different payment levels related to individualized assessments of the recipient's functioning level and service needs.
In the Disability Compensation Program, disability is defined as a partial or total impairment by injury or disease incurred or aggravated during military service. A VA rating board employs criteria developed by the VA to rate the extent of a disability.
The program is administered by the Compensation and Pension Service of the Veterans Benefits Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs through 58 regional offices in each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Republic of the Philippines. Each regional office has one or more rating boards, each composed of a physician and two nonmedical rating specialists, that determine eligibility for benefits.
Veterans are eligible for disability compensation if the disability was incurred or aggravated while on active duty. Unlike the VA Disability Pension Program, there are no income eligibility requirements and compensation is made for partial, as well as total, disability. The degree of disability is based on a Schedule for Rating Disabilities, which ranges from 0 to 100%. The severity of a disability is determined by using this rating schedule, which lists medical conditions and criteria for assigning each claimant a percentage disability rating. This rating is intended to represent an average earnings loss the veteran would experience in civilian occupations because of the disability. The rating is determined by a regional VA rating board based on the veteran's ability to function at work and at home. If a veteran has several impairments, each are rated separately and combined to determine an overall rating, taking into account the effects of multiple impairments.
Monthly cash payments are made to veterans awarded benefits under the Disability Compensation Program. Benefit levels are related to the percentage of disability determined by the VA rating board, which are assigned in increments of 10 percent (see Exhibit 4-1). The average annual benefit level for service-disabled veterans for FY 1987 was $3,808. For veterans determined to be 30% disabled or more, compensation is increased if they have dependents, if they are housebound, or if they require an aide and attendants allowance for in-home care. In 1987, the average annual compensation level for veterans determined to be 30% disabled or more was $7,416. For veterans determined to be less than 30% disabled, the average annual compensation was $1,032 (see Exhibit 4-2). There are limits on the amount veterans can receive based on the percentage of disability. In 1988, the maximum compensation for a veteran determined to be 100% disabled with no dependents was $14,068.
To establish eligibility for a pension, a veteran must file a claim with the VA regional office. If the veteran is under 65, the regional office then refers the veteran to a VA hospital for a medical examination evaluating the disability to see if it is permanent and total. The results of the medical examination are reviewed by a regional VA rating board which certifies that the veteran is permanently and totally disabled. The regional office may then grant the veteran a disability pension. The process takes approximately 120 days from the time the application is filed with the VA regional office to the time the veteran begins receiving payments.
Home health care. Medicare covers an unlimited number of medically necessary home health visits by nurses, therapists and other health care professionals under both Part A and Part B. To be eligible for services, a beneficiary must: (a) require skilled nursing care, physical therapy, or speech therapy; (b) be in need of "intermittent" care, as opposed to continuous care (c) have that need certified by a physician under a home care plan; (d) be confined to the home; and (e) receive services from a Medicare-certified home health agency. A patient who needs full-time skilled nursing care over an extended period of time would not qualify for home health benefits under the "interrmittent" requirement.
Medicaid is almost always the payer of last resort. Medicaid applicants are required to disclose any insurance coverage or other potential third party payment source at the time of their application, and all State Medicaid programs are required to have a system for pursuing third party claims. These systems may include data exchanges with workers' compensation boards or State motor vehicle accident report files. States must also have systems for collecting medical support payments from absent parents. 2b1af7f3a8
