(1) The Title XX
			 Block Grant Annual Plan and Pre-expenditure Report is a proposal for balancing
			 available funds with social service needs in all areas of the state. Due to
			 limited funding, the plan cannot include all of the social services needed in
			 Alabama, and all services provided will not be available to everyone in
			 need.
(2) The plan defines each
			 broad service category, offers estimates of cost of services and identifies and
			 estimates the number of individuals to be served. It also lists the methods of
			 delivery for services and the geographic areas to be served; it states which
			 departmental goals and objectives are to be met by the provision of services.
			 The proposed services and distribution of funds described in the plan are
			 determined by priorities based on the Department's goals and statutory
			 requirements, the public review process and needs assessment as discussed in
			 660-5-2-.04 and
			 660-5-2-.05.

The Alabama Department of Human Resources is designated by the
				Governor as the single state agency to administer Title XX of the Social
				Security Act ( P.L. 93-647). Title XX, which consolidated social services
				provisions for low income persons previously funded under Titles IV-A and VI of
				the Social Security Act, became effective October 1, 1975, and federal funds
				were allocated annually on the basis of population to reimburse states for
				seventy-five percent (75%) of the cost of providing social services. In August
				1981, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 changed Title XX to a
				Social Services Block Grant, consolidated Title XX Social Services Training and
				Day Care into one block grant and reduced federal funding.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
A variety of methodologies are employed in Alabama to identify
				service needs. These include key respondent surveys, analysis of census and
				other population data and analysis of data available through management
				information systems. No single method is adequate to determine service needs.
				Each provides qualitatively different, yet important, information. Also,
				identified needs must be weighed against available funds and social services
				goals and objectives.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024

			 consisting of an adult and his or her spouse (including common-law) and
			 children under 18 (or under 21 if in school) related by blood, marriage or
			 adoption who are residing in the same household. A member of this basic family
			 unit temporarily out of the home--for example, attending school but returning
			 for holidays and vacations, or hospitalized--continues to be considered a part
			 of the family. Considered as separate families are:
(a) Related persons 18 years of age or over,
			 other than spouses, who live together;
(b) Unrelated persons 18 years of age or over
			 who live together;
(c) Children for
			 whom the Department, another State Department, or licensed child-placing agency

			 in a foster care facility with the following exception: If the Department,
			 another State Department or licensed child-placing agency has only planning
			 responsibility for children in need of Residential Care Services for
			 Individuals with Exceptional Needs, these children must be considered a part of
			 their own family in determining eligibility;
(d) Children for whom the Department has
			 custody or planning responsibility who are living with relatives other than
			 parents; and
(e) Individuals under
			 18 years of age who are:
1. married;
			 or
2. self-supporting and living
			 apart from the basic family unit; or
3. grantee relatives for their own children
			 or siblings (for purposes of considering family income).

(1) The

			 participation.
(2) When an eligible
			 client requests a service for which there is no slot immediately available, his

			 area. (Exception: The waiting list may be disregarded and the county's slot

			 and former transitional clients who remain eligible for day care.) Service will
			 be authorized when a slot becomes available, the client is redetermined
			 eligible, and need for the service is reestablished. Eligible applicants for
			 adult services will be placed on the waiting list according to priorities.
			 Individuals at risk of abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation will be given the
			 first priority and individuals at risk of institutionalization will have second
			 priority. The date of request will determine standing on the waiting list when

			 shall be given to individuals who are determined to be abused, neglected and/or
			 exploited or who are suspected to be at risk of abuse, neglect and/or

			 criteria for services. Individuals not falling within one of the categories for

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Pursuant to changes in the Child Care and Development Block
				Grant Act (42 U.S.C.S. §§9857 et seq,) the Alabama Department of
				Human Resources (the Department) is required to create and implement health and
				safety standards for all facilities that receive Child Care and Development
				Funds (CCDF) through the Child Care Subsidy Program. The primary change relates
				to the obligation to monitor health and safety standards in those facilities
				that receive CCDF funding. The guidelines in this manual are limited
				exclusively to facilities that receive CCDF funding and operate pursuant to
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(a), (b), and
				(c), provided that there are no children
				under the age of four years old, and also pursuant to
Code of Ala.
				1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(f).
These guidelines apply exclusively to facilities that do
				not care for children under the age of four years old.
Any facility
				operating pursuant to
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(a), (b), and
				(c) that cares for children under the age of
				four years and receives CCDF through the Child Care Subsidy Program is subject
				to the provisions of the "Health and Safety Guidelines Requirements and
				Procedures for Facilities Participating in the Child Care Subsidy Program" and
				not the guidelines set forth herein.
Any facility operating pursuant to
Code of Ala.
				1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(f) is
				precluded by that subsection from caring for children under school age. Nothing
				in these guidelines shall be interpreted to mean that a facility operating
				pursuant to
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(f) can
				care for children under school age. Any facility purportedly operating under
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								38-7-2(4)(f) 
				that has children under school age is a "Day Care Center" and must comply with
				"The Child Care Act of 1971" (
Code of Ala. 1975
,
				§
								38-7-1 et.
seq.
)
				and all applicable standards. The law requires that states must certify to the
				Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care that they are in
				compliance with the regulations regarding the distribution of these funds. If a
				facility is not in compliance with the health and safety standards then that
				facility is ineligible to receive CCDF funds.
In order to be in compliance with these health and safety
				standards all facilities are required to comply with all State and Federal
				Laws. The violation of any State or Federal law in relation to the operation of
				this facility is a violation of health and safety standards.
