and that the statements submitted in this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

I further swear that I or my company have met the requirements set forth in 15 TAC §355.112 which states that allowable enhancement fund compensation for attendants (as defined above) was applied either as salaries and/or wages, including payroll taxes and workers’ compensation, or employee benefits to direct care staff.

I agree to submit to an audit, examination and review of books, records, documents and files, in whatever form they exist, of the named company and its affiliates, inspection of its places(s) of business and equipment, and to permit interviews of principals, agents, and employees.
