    Examples Of Violation Of Ucmj

    ____________________. Your actions are in violation of Article 86 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ),10 U.S.C. 886. Continued misbehavior of this type may result in judicial punishment or non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the UCMJ adverse administrative personnel actions. Potential adverse actions may include: written or oral reprimands, a bar to reenlistment, extra training, suspension or revocation of your security clearance, and involuntary separation under AR 635-200, Chapter 13, Unsatisfactory Performance or Chapter 14, Misconduct. The impact of adverse separation can be severe depending upon the type of discharge you receive. A dishonorable discharge deprives a soldier of all veteran's benefits and may deprive him or her of their civil rights. If separated for your duty performance, the least favorable character of discharge you could receive is an under other than honorable conditions discharge. Both may cause undue hardships in civilian life and may reflect on your eligibility for veteran's benefits, eligibility for reentry into the Armed Forces, and acceptability for employment in the civilian community.…

    Evaluating Eligibility Rules

    “ A common and concrete example is eligibility for medical benefits, which is always contingent on the discretion of the physician (or physician surrogate)” (Chambers and Wedel, 2005). Evidently, this rule allows for social workers and case workers to make decisions which may or may not be challenged through a judicial hearing. The Department of Human Services offers a benefit known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which helps aids families receive medical care. “DFD offers a variety of support services and financial aid to kinship caregivers, who may be eligible for monthly payments through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The children under their care may be eligible for Medicaid health insurance” (The Department of Human Services, 1996).
