The Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) contracts with county commissioners for prosecuting Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Food Stamp intentional program violations. As approved by the Texas Board of Human Services, DHS passes to the local prosecutors the federal share of the cost per case, and the local prosecutors supply the state match. The Budget Deficit Reduction Act of 1993 reduces the federal participation rate from 75% to 50% for fraud control activities, effective July 1, 1995. DHS is required to reduce the rate in effect before July 1, 1995, by 25% from:
(1) $420 to $280 for uncontested cases; and;
(2) $1,017 to $678 for contested cases.
