Information on Document

    Title: Worksheet for Integrated AFDC, Adult, Food Stamps and 
Medicaid Eligibility Quality Control Reviews Form ACF-4340.
    OMB No.: 0970-0072.
    Description: This information collection is authorized by Sections 
2, 408, 1402, and 1602 of the Social Security Act and required under 
regulatory authority found at 45 CFR 205.40. The Worksheet for 
Integrated Quality Control Reviews is a joint form developed and 
utilized by the Administration for Children and Families and Health 
Care Financing Administration both of the Department of Health and 
Human Services and the Food and Nutrition Service of the Department of 
Agriculture for quality reviews of the Aid to Families with Dependent 
Children (AFDC), Food Stamps and Medicaid programs. The Quality Control 
(QC) Reviews of the three programs are conducted by the State agencies 
which administer the programs for the sponsoring federal agencies. Form 
4340 is used by the States to document the findings of state quality 
reviewers who review the correctness of a sample of eligibility 
decisions made by the states for the AFDC, Food Stamps and Medicaid 
programs. The purpose of this QC reviews are to assure that individuals 
are not being denied categories of Federal assistance for which they 
are eligible and to take necessary corrective measures to reduce the 
incidence of improperly authorized or denied assistance.
    This information is utilized in determining the principal causes of 
incorrect actions and in developing appropriate corrective action.
