 From The Quality Control System Used In The Aid To

 Families With Dependent Children Program


 Erroneous payments to Aid to Families with
 Dependent Children program recipients con-
 tinue to concern both the Congress and the
 Department of Health and Human Services.
 HHS has tried to encourage error reduction
 by requiring States to implement the quality
 control system. Relying on a congressional
 conference committee directive, HHS plans to
 encourage States to reduce errors by withhold-
 ing Federal funds for erroneous payments a-
 bove certain tolerances based on quality con-
 trol, findings, However, these penalties are an
 incentive to report fewer errors.

 This report discusses improvements needed in
 the quality control system to make it more
 useful to managers for reducing errors and
 recommends that application of fiscal sanc.
 tions against States be discontinued.
