TITLE 22. SOCIAL SERVICES

STATE BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES

Withdrawal of Notice of Intended Regulatory Action

Title of Regulation: 22VAC40-325. Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort (amending 22VAC40-325-10, 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Notice is hereby given that the State Board of Social Services has WITHDRAWN the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action for 22VAC40-325, Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort, that was published in 41:16 VA.R. 1729 March 24, 2025. The purpose of the proposed action was to rename the Fraud Reduction/Elimination Effort as the Statewide Fraud Control Program and change the methodology used to reimburse local departments of social services. Changes being considered would have moved away from a formula for reimbursement rates that is caseload based to one that reflects actual fraud work. The state board voted on October 15, 2025, to withdraw this NOIRA and submit a new NOIRA later this year.
