Which year did the Balanced Budget Act get created?

• A. 1996
• B. 1990
• C. 1997
• D. 1947

Answer: (C)

The Balanced Budget Act was enacted in 1997. It was a major federal law aimed at balancing the budget and brought substantial Medicare changes, including caps on outpatient therapy services like occupational therapy. That association with Medicare reforms is why 1997 is the correct year. The other years refer to different budget measures or earlier periods, not the act in question.
