copied and displayed. The electronic 

system includes an automatic character 

counter that tells the user how many 

characters the states have left. This 

eliminates the need to independently 

track entries against the Maternal and 

Child Health Bureau’s limits for each 

section and ensures compliance. The 

electronic system includes forms status 

checker and data alerts, which conduct 

automated checks on data validity, data 

consistency, and application 

completeness, as well as value tolerance 

checks. This facilitates application 

review and eliminates much of 

previously required data cleaning 

activity. Also, this allows the user to 

obtain an immediate update at any point 

in time on the completeness and 

compliance of the application, reducing 

the need to conduct a review of the 

application. Data are saved directly to 

the HRSA server so that no manual 

transmission is required. Finally, the 

automatic commitment of data to the 

HRSA server eliminates the need for 

version control or data migration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Program implemented the Ricky Ray 

Hemophilia Relief Fund Act of 1998 

(the Act), Pub. Law 105–369. The Act 

established a Trust Fund to provide 

compassionate payments to individuals 

with blood-clotting disorders, such as 

hemophilia, who were treated with 

antihemophilic factor between July 1, 

1982 and December 31, 1987, and 

contracted human immunodeficiency 

virus (HIV), as well as to certain persons 

who contracted HIV from these 

individuals. In the event individuals 

eligible for payment were deceased, the 

Act also provided for payments to 

certain survivors of these individuals. 

Under section 101(d) of the Act, the 

Trust Fund terminated on November 12, 

2003. The Act requires all remaining 

funds to be deposited in the 

miscellaneous receipts account in the 

Treasury of the United States. 

The Program has made compassionate 

payments totaling in excess of $559 

million to more than 7,171 eligible 

individuals and survivors.
