handle is hein.gao/gaobabbwv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ri IS~~~ BY THE U,S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Secretary Of Health And Human Services Action Needed To Avert Future Overpayments To States For AFDC Foster Care It is essential that the Department of Health and Human Services promptly audit fiscal year 1978 reimbursements to States under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children foster care program. Payments made during 1978 will be used as the basis for determining allotments to States for fiscal years 1981-84. GAO's review of reimbursements to New York and California--which received more than half of the $226 million paid to States in 1978--showed that the States were reim- bursed improperly for several types of costs. :II I11llII /11 1lii 115166 Unless the correct level of fiscal year 1978 reimbursements is determined, millions of Federal dollars could be lost in future over- payments. HHS also should recover all costs determined to be unallowable under the fos- ter care program. 7I' HRD-81-73 APRIL 20, 1981 0/6 Wi/
