The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) an-
nounces its intent to submit amendments to the Texas State Plan for
Medical Assistance under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The

savings of $36,921 for the remainder of federal fiscal year (FFY) 2018,
consisting of $21,001 in federal funds and $15,920 in state general rev-
enue. For FFY 2019, the estimated cost savings is $37,507, consisting
of $21,499 in federal funds and $16,008 in state general revenue. For
FFY 2020, the estimated cost savings is $38,108, consisting of $21,844
in federal funds and $16,264 in state general revenue.
