Title of Regulation: 22VAC40-325. Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort (amending 22VAC40-325-20).

Statutory Authority: §§ 63.2-217 and 63.2-526 of the Code of Virginia.

Notice is hereby given that the State Board of Social Services has WITHDRAWN the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action for 22VAC40-325, Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort, that was published in 37:14 VA.R. 1466 March 1, 2021. The purpose of the proposed action was to rename the Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort to the Statewide Fraud Control Program and change the methodology for reimbursement to local departments of social services for fraud control activities. Due to the considerable time since the NOIRA was published, the agency is withdrawing the NOIRA. A periodic review of 22VAC40-325 is scheduled for 2023, which will provide an opportunity for updated public comment and determination of whether amendments are still needed.

Agency Contact: Susan Lloyd, Fraud Consultant, Department of Social Services, 1604 Santa Rosa Road, Henrico, VA 23229, telephone (804) 663-5526, or email susan.lloyd@dss.virginia.gov.
