§ HR.33.053. USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE EFFICIENCY AND FRAUD DETECTION
USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO PROMOTE EFFICIENCY AND FRAUD DETECTION. (a) The commission shall consider the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using readily available document scanning technology to reduce storage and maintenance costs and potential loss of data by creating electronic case files for supplemental nutrition assistance cases instead of maintaining physical files for those cases. The commission shall use that technology if determined feasible and cost-effective. (b) The commission shall implement, if feasible and cost-effective, a risk scoring program for supplemental nutrition assistance applications to streamline the eligibility determination process, reduce errors, and strengthen fraud detection. A risk scoring program implemented by the commission must be capable of ranking applications based on complexity so that: (1) more experienced eligibility determination staff members can be used to process more difficult cases and cases with fraud characteristics; and (2) applications ranked as low-risk on fraud characteristics can be processed more expeditiously. Added by Acts 2011, 82nd Leg., R.S., Ch. 1165 (H.B. 2819 ), Sec. 2, eff. September 1, 2011.
