In September 2016, Texas began transforming how it delivers health and human services to qualified Texans, with a goal of making the Health and Human Services System more efficient and effective. Sept. 1, 2017, marked another major milestone in this transformation.
The new accountable, restructured system:
Makes it easier for people to find out about the services or benefits for which they may qualify.
Better integrates programs by removing bureaucratic silos and grouping similar programs and services together.
Creates clear lines of accountability within the organization.
Includes well-defined and objective performance metrics for all organizational areas.
Texas Health and Human Services now consists of 2 agencies: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC)
Experienced HHSC employees deliver benefits and services, including:
Medicaid for families and children
Long-term care for people who are older or who have disabilities
SNAP food benefits and TANF cash assistance for families
Behavioral health services
Services to help keep people who are older or who have disabilities in their homes and communities
Services for women and other people with special health needs
The agency also oversees regulatory functions including:
Licensing and credentialing long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes and assisted living
Licensing child care providers
Managing the day-to-day operations of state supported living centers and state hospitals
