        217.35  FRAUD AND RECOUPMENT ACTIVITIES.
         Notwithstanding the requirement for deposit of recovered moneys
      under section 239B.14, recovered moneys generated through fraud and
      recoupment activities are appropriated to the department of human
      services to be used for additional fraud and recoupment activities
      performed by the department of human services or the department of
      inspections and appeals.  The department of human services may use
      the recovered moneys appropriated to add not more than five full-time
      equivalent positions, in addition to those funded by annual
      appropriations.  The appropriation of the recovered moneys is subject
      to both of the following conditions:
         1.  The director of human services determines that the investment
      can reasonably be expected to increase recovery of assistance paid in
      error, due to fraudulent or nonfraudulent actions, in excess of the
      amount recovered in the previous fiscal year.
         2.  The amount expended for the additional fraud and recoupment
      activities shall not exceed the amount of the projected increase in
      assistance recovered.
