RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Fraud Investigation and Program Integrity Plan including a tentative budget in an amount not to exceed $626,412 for submission to the California Department of Social Services and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to sign the IHSS Fraud Prevention Program County Response Cover Page.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$626,412: 50% Federal Medi-Cal Federal Financial Participation (FFP) funding and 50% County funding. Program implementation and claiming of FFP funding is contingent upon the availability of County General Funds as a 50% County match ($312,206). Should County funding become available in the future, a plan needs to be in place in order to be able to submit a claim for the federal funds.
BACKGROUND:
The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Fraud Investigation and Program Integrity Plan is a joint effort of the Employment and Human Services Department and the Office of the District Attorney.
