Texas HHS Revealed

Let's check your understanding of the HHS organization.

You selected 4. In 2005, appropriations for HHS totaled $20 million taxpayer dollars. That's incorrect.

Here's the correct answer. House Bill 2292 merged 12 agencies into five new agencies under the oversight of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. This new $30 billion organization was created to make it easier for Texans to find assistance and help the state lower administrative costs and direct more funding into services.
