 PUBLIC LAW 100-203—DEC. 22, 1987

101 STAT. 1330-311

(D) mandated work shall not include work in any position created by a reduction in the work force, a bona fide labor dispute, the decertification of a bargaining unit, or a new job classification which subverts the intention of the Program; (4) there shall be no change in existing State law which would eliminate guaranteed benefits or reduce the rights of applicants or enrollees; and (5) the Program shall include due process guarantees and procedures no less than those which are available to participants in the AFDC program under Federal law and regulation and under State law. (c) WAIVERS.—The Secretary shall (with respect to the project under this section) waive compliance with any requirements contained in title IV of the Social Security Act which (if applied) would prevent the State from carrying out the project or effectively achieving its purpose, or with the requirements of sections 1902(a)(1), 1902(e)(1), and 1916 of that Act Gout only to the extent necessary to enable the State to carry out the Program ^^ as enacted by the State in April 1987). (d) FUNDING.—

(1) The Secretary, under section 403(b) or 1903(d) of the Social Security Act, shall reimburse the State for its expenditures under the Program— (A) at a rate equal to the Federal matching rate applicable to the State under section 403(a)(l) (or 1118) of the Social Security Act, for cash assistance, medical assistance, and child care provided to enrollees; (B) at a rate equal to the applicable Federal matching rate under section 403(a)(3) of such Act, for administrative expenses; and (C) at the rate of 75 percent for an evaluation plan approved by the Secretary. (2) As a condition of approval of the project under this section, the State must provide assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that the total amount of Federal reimbursement over the period of the project will not exceed the anticipated Federal reimbursements (over that period) under the AFDC and Medicaid programs; but this paragraph shall not prevent the State from claiming reimbursement for additional persons who would qualify for assistance under the AFDC program, for costs attributable to increases in the State's payment standard, or for any other federally-matched benefits or services. (e) EVALUATION.—The State must satisfy the Secretary that the Program ^^ will be evaluated using a reasonable methodology. (f) DURATION OF PROJECT.—

(1) The project under this section shall begin on the date on which the first individual is enrolled in the Program and (subject to paragraph (2)) shall end five years after that date. (2) The project may be terminated at any time, on six months written notice, by the State or (upon a finding that the State has materially failed to comply with this section) by the Secretary.
