1The budget includes a proposal to pay incentive payments to States that increase adoptions from the foster care system. The budget assumes incentive payments of up to $108 million over 1999-2002 for these payments. It is anticipated that reduced foster care payments would offset the outlays from any incentives paid.

2 Also affects Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Services, and Forest Service. Current proposal would make available all new receipts to the collections agency (no net savings).

3 Net Government savings is $300 million less annually because of offsetting costs to the Medicaid program.
