    Section 407(b)(3) of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, requires a state's required work participation rate for a fiscal year to be reduced by the state's caseload reduction credit for that fiscal year. The caseload reduction credit gives a state credit for reducing its caseload between a base year and a comparison year.
