ACTION Final/Adopted
Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule
(a)The Health and Human Services Commission (commission) is responsible for distributing state assistance to eligible counties to the extent appropriated state funds are available.

 (b)The commission distributes funds to eligible counties based on a maximum annual allocation.

  (1)The maximum annual allocation will be based on such factors as spending history, population, and the number of residents living below the Federal Poverty Guideline.

   (2)The commission-established allocation of the state assistance funds will distinguish the amount of funds allocated between the counties that were eligible and received state assistance funds the prior state fiscal year, and other potentially eligible counties.

   (3)The commission may reallocate the unspent funds to eligible counties, up to the appropriated state assistance funds available for each county.

   (4)No county can be approved for more than the legislatively mandated or commission-established percent of the appropriated state assistance fund within a state fiscal year.

The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
