Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
INTRODUCTION
Block Grant Funding, Public Participation, Service
				Delivery and Program Period
Social Services Block Grant
				(SSBG)
Social Services Block Grant legislation enables states to claim
				limited federal funds to provide social services for individuals and families.
				The services are designed to assist individuals or families to become less
				dependent on others for financial support or personal care; to protect children
				and adults from neglect, abuse, or exploitation and to provide family
				maintenance; to avoid unnecessary or premature institutionalization; and to
				gain appropriate placement if institutionalization is necessary.
Each state is responsible for determining the social services
				most appropriate for its citizens. In
Arkansas, citizens are involved in the planning process and
				have an opportunity to respond to planning decisions. Arkansas uses the
				Comprehensive Services Program Plan to inform the State's citizens and to meet
				pre-expenditure report requirements of Social Services Block Grant legislation.
				Arkansas will publish the Comprehensive Services Program Plan and prepare
				updates as necessary to reflect substantial changes in the activities which
				affect the overall intent of the Plan. Any substantive revisions will be made
				available for public review and comment. The Arkansas Social Services Block
				Grant Program operates on the State Fiscal Year which runs from July 1 through
				June 30. This document will be effective July 1, 2008.
Public Review
				Process
A public review period w as initiated in October, 2008 by a
				notice in a statewide newspaper and concluded 30 days later. The Arkansas
				Department of Human Services (DHS) will accept comments from service
				recipients, service providers, and other interested citizens throughout the
				program year. Questions and comments should be sent to the Office of Finance
				and Administration at the address listed below.

				response. Changes made as a result of public comment will be included in an
				update to the document.

				Policy
DHS is in compliance with Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights
				Act and is operated, managed, and delivers services without regard to age,
				religion, disability, political affiliation, veteran status, sex, race, creed,
				color or national origin. DHS, in consideration of and for the purpose of
				obtaining the federal financial assistance requested through this document,
				gives assurance that it will comply with the applicable nondiscrimination
				provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 503 and 504 of the
				Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the
				Age Discrimination Act of 1975, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
				and the provisions of 45 CFR, Part 92.
ORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN
				SERVICES
DHS is a cabinet agency within the executive branch. The
				Director reports to the Governor and is responsible for the administration of
				this unified human service delivery agency.
Act 348 of 1985 allowed the Department of Human Services (DHS)
				to create a unified, comprehensive service delivery system in Arkansas to
				improve the accessibility, availability, quality, and accountability of
				services delivered or purchased by DHS and to improve the administration and
				management of resources available to DHS. Act 574 of 1993 transferred the
				Division of Rehabilitation Services to the Department of Education and Act 890
				of 1993 transferred the Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention to the
				Department of Health. Act 957 of 1993 transferred the Child Support Enforcement
				Unit to the Department of Finance and Administration. Act 1296 of 1993 created
				the Division of Youth Services. Act 1132 of 1997 created the Division of Child
				Care and Early Childhood Education. Act 1717 of 2003 created the Division of
				Behavioral Health Services within the Department of Human Services to include
				community mental health centers, the Arkansas State Hospital and the Arkansas
				Health Center and to transfer the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention from the
				Department of Health to the Department of Human Services, Division of
				Behavioral Health Services. Act 1954 of 2005 merged the Department of Human
				Services and the Department of Health into the Department of Health and Human
				Services (DHHS). Act 384 of 2007 separated the Division of Health from DHHS.
				DHHS is known again as the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS).
The Department is organized into the following divisions and
				offices:
Office of Finance and Administration Division of Aging and
				Adult Services
Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education Division

OPERATION OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM IN
				ARKANSAS
PLANNING PROCESS
Planning for the Arkansas Social Services Block Grant program
				has been modified and revised on an on-going basis to meet changing program
				conditions. Service planning is based on client and expenditure information,
				the individually developed methodology of each division and office for gaining
				additional community information for the design of its Social Services Block
				Grant program, and suggestions and comments from the public.
Information gathered in the process, together with a variety of
				other planning and decision-making tools available to the Department, has been
				used in determining and setting priorities and in continuing efforts to improve
				effectiveness. The Office of Finance and Administration maintains files on the
				public participation process which are available for review by interested
				citizens.
PROGRAM MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Each division and office is responsible for monitoring and
				evaluating (either directly or through contract) all services provided with its
				allocation of Social Services Block Grant funds. Evaluations include on-site
				monitoring visits on a sampling basis.
The reviews are based on federal and state regulations, the
				contract agreement, licensing and certification standards, program criteria and
				guidelines, and social work practice. In addition to the monitoring and
				evaluation performed by the appropriate division or office, each contract
				provider is to utilize an internal monitoring and evaluation process. The
				monitoring component should insure that the services billed are delivered to
				eligible clients in accordance with the terms of the contract. The evaluation
				should indicate the degree of achievement attributable to the program in
				relation to stated program goals and objectives.
REPORTING
Effective October 1988, Social Services Block Grant legislation
				instituted new reporting requirements utilizing uniform service definitions.
				Arkansas has developed an eligibility and reimbursement system incorporating
				the new reporting requirements while maintaining complete demographic and
				service delivery data to provide an accurate picture of service delivery
				patterns for the Arkansas Social Services Block Grant program.
The Office of Finance and Administration prepares and compiles
				reports containing information about services delivered to clients, client
				demographic information, and service expenditures. Reports produced include:
				Expenditures by Service, Age Range and Services Goals.
Many federal and private agencies, states, and individuals send
				research questionnaires or letters of inquiry regarding Arkansas' experience
				with the Social Services Block Grant. Information regarding the services
				program (including purchase of service contracts) is open to the public.
				(Individual client names and information about the clients is protected by
				law.)
PROGRAM COORDINATION AND UTILIZATION
The provision of social services under the Social Services
				Block Grant is coordinated with other programs providing related human services
				within the State. It is vital to continually coordinate these programs in order
				to appropriately utilize social service dollars and service programs to meet
				the needs of the low income population.
Coordination with Economic Assistance
				Programs
Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) (Title
				IV-A):
The provision of financial assistance to low income persons
				is mandated under Title IV-A of the Social Security Act. Social Services are
				provided for TEA recipients through the Social Services Block Grant (Title XX)
				program. The TEA program includes a work and training program for TEA
				recipients and has an integral part in the provision of supportive services and
				requires coordination with Social Services Block Grant programs.
Supplemental Security Income (Title
				XVI)
: The Social Security Administration determines eligibility
				and issues payments for the Supplemental Security Income Program for the needy,
				blind, disabled and aged citizens of Arkansas.
Coordination with Medical Assistance
				Programs
Medicaid (Title XIX)
: Title XIX of the
				Social Security Act, the federal statutory basis for the Medical Assistance
				Program, allows the state to provide financial assistance for low income
				persons to assist them in securing certain necessary medical services. The cost
				of the medical services provided to social service clients is covered primarily
				through the Medical Assistance Program and in accordance with the Arkansas
				Title XIX Medical Assistance Plan which defines those medical services
				reimbursable under Title XIX. Services which are inherent responsibilities of a
				Title XIX facility and intrinsic to its purpose must be provided by the
				facility under its Title XIX program, not from Social Services Block Grant
				funds. Any costs of services not reimbursable through other provisions of the
				Medical program must be paid from the Title XIX vendor payment. Activities or
				services which meet, duplicate, or substitute for a facility's service
				requirements under Title XIX may not be paid for under the Social Services
				Block Grant. The state may receive reimbursement on a case-by-case basis for
				some medical or remedial services under the Social Services Block Grant if the
				client is eligible, if the service is not covered in the Title XIX State Plan
				or by Medicare, and if the service provided is clearly an integral and
				subordinate part of a discrete social service specifically defined as such in
				this plan.
Coordination with Child Welfare
				Programs
Child Welfare Programs
: Both federal
				and state law mandate a child welfare service delivery system directed at
				safety and child protection, preserving and strengthening family life,
				providing permanency for children w ho cannot remain or be reunited with their
				families, and support services for other youth until they reach the age of
				majority. Title IV-E and Title IV-B parts I and II fund 67% of the Division of
				Children and Family Services program budget for social services and foster
				care, adoptions, and child welfare training. Social Service Block Grant funds
				.02% of the program budget for purchased services costs.
Coordination With Other Human Services
				Programs
Department divisions and offices utilize a variety of funding
				along with Social Services Block Grant funding in the programs for which they
				are responsible.

				free of cost to those who are eligible. Unless specified in this document, no
				fees or payments may be requested in Arkansas at this time. (See
Fees for Services
, page 14.) In order to receive a
				service paid through Social Services Block Grant funds, an individual must meet
				three basic requirements:
1. The
			 person must need the service in order to attain or maintain one of the five
			 national goals.
2. The person must
			 be a resident of the State of Arkansas w hile receiving the service.
3. The person must meet the financial

				blind, or disabled individual receiving Supplemental Security Income
				benefits.
Income Eligible Recipients

For over ten family members, add $693 to the annual income for
				a family size of ten for each additional member.
A family is one or more adults and children, if any, related by
				blood or law and residing together in the same household. Spouses are legally
				responsible for each other and shall be considered as a part of the same family
				unit unless they reside in separate households (e.g., one spouse in a
				supervised living facility). If either spouse has legal responsibility for a
				child, then both spouses and the child are considered as a family unit. Where
				adults other than spouses reside together, each is considered a separate family
				by the State. Emancipated minors and children living under the care of
				individuals not legally responsible for their care are considered one-person
				families by the State.
Under the direction of the Office of Finance and
				Administration, contract provider agencies generally assume responsibility for
				completion of application documents, determination of the client's eligibility,
				residency, and authorization for purchased services as appropriate.
Financial eligibility will be determined on the basis of the
				applicants' statements (referred to as the Declaration Method). The staff
				informs the applicant that he or she has a right to a hearing if dissatisfied
				either with the handling of the application or the length of time between a
				favorable decision of eligibility and receipt of the service.
Fees for Services
Arkansas has adopted a fee system with fee assessment based on
				client income adjusted by family size. Three types of fees are allowable:
(1) flat fees,
(2) flat fees varying with income, and
(3) fees based on percentages of
			 unit rates varying with client income. Currently no fees are charged.
Service Delivery
				Areas
For purposes of Social Services Block Grant planning and
				service delivery, Arkansas is divided into five Service Delivery Areas. Each
				Service Delivery Area (SDA) is comprised of a number of counties.
Table 2 on page 15 lists SDAs, the counties included in each
				area, and the locations of the Department of Human Services' county offices.
				The map following the table shows the Service Delivery Areas and counties. The
				Division of County Operations (DCO), which manages the county offices, utilizes
				six Service Delivery Areas with Pulaski County designated as Area VI. Also, DCO
				places Crittenden and Cross Counties in Area II instead of Area V.

INTRODUCTION TO SERVICE DEFINITIONS
Service definitions provide a general, overall picture of
				service activities and objectives. A particular service may be provided by one
				or more program agencies; but, regardless of which agency provides the service,
				the definition always remains the same. Services are tailored specifically to
				the client population served by a division or office through choices of goals,
				eligibility categories, geographic availability, and allowable activities.
				Detailed service pages for each program agency are located in the
Social Services Block Grant Program M anual

FUNDING
07/01/08 24
FINANCIAL DATA SECTION
Introduction
Federal funding is made available to states through the Social
				Services Block Grant established in October, 1981. Enactment of block grant
				legislation continued the service program funding initially made available
				through Title XX of the Social Security Act, which w as established in 1975. At
				the outset, the federal funding level w as set at $2.5 billion, available to
				states at a 75 percent rate with 25 percent matching required; an additional
				$200 million w as appropriated for day care programs, but without the matching
				requirement. In the Social Services Block Grant, the funding w as combined into
				one allotment. The total of this federal funding has varied over the years of
				the program's operation. The total funding for federal fiscal year 2001 w as
				$1.725 billion; $50 million less than the federal fiscal year 2000
				appropriation. Funding for federal fiscal year 2009 is estimated at $1.2
				billion.
Federal funding allotments to states are based on the federal
				fiscal year which is in effect from October 1 through September 30. The
				Arkansas Social Services Block Grant program operates on the state fiscal year
				which runs from July 1 through June 30. This is done so that the program can be
				coordinated as closely as possible with the state biennial budget cycle.
				Because of this coordination, expenditure estimates in this plan should
				correspond to those in the budget. However, since the state budget is planned
				for the biennium and since the program is dependent on federal funding which
				may vary from one year to the next, an exact match between the biennial budget
				and this program plan is not possible.
Planning Financial
				Data
Total funding for the Arkansas Social Services Block Grant
				program is made up of funds from the Social Services Block Grant and state and
				local matching (donated and appropriated). The table below shows funding from
				each source and total estimated funding for state fiscal year 2008.

Matching
The Director of the Department of Human Services allocates
				funds to each program area within the Department and to the Arkansas
				Rehabilitation Services and the Arkansas Spinal Cord Commission. In turn, these
				agencies set funding levels for services. Table 4 shows program area funding
				estimates and other related allocation information. Administrative costs are
				defined and described on the following pages.
07/01/08 25
Direct program costs are costs specifically identified with the
				delivery of a particular service or activity to achieve one of the five
				statutory goals of the SSBG program. Direct program costs include technical
				assistance and management expenditures related directly to the provision of any
				of those services. Direct program costs include activities with administrative
				qualities that support the provision of a particular SSBG service, not general
				administration of the grant. Direct program support for SSBG goals and service
				categories is provided by seven divisions and two offices of DHS, as well as by
				the Arkansas Department of Workforce Education and the Arkansas Spinal Cord
				Commission.

Funding
				Percentages
Approximately 84.1837% of funding for tine Social Services
				Block Grant program in Arkansas is federal funds. The 15.8162% match is made up
				of 61.8012% state funds, 11.1918% local government funds and 27.0069% local
				donated funds.
Indirect Administrative
				Costs
Indirect administrative costs are those associated with central
				executive functions that do not directly support the provision of a specific
				project or service within the scope of coverage of SSBG Administrative costs
				cannot be attributed to service recipients and are incurred for common
				objectives that benefit multiple programs. Indirect administrative costs will
				be held to a maximum of 9% in aggregate.
Activities considered administrative costs for the Office of
				Finance and Administration include: cost of overall program planning, policy
				development, budgeting, funds management and Federal reporting.
Activities considered indirect administrative costs for the
				Office of Chief Counsel (OCC) include: legal library costs, training and
				equipment expenses for child welfare attorneys, and central office
				administrative costs associated with adult and child protective services.
				Direct program expenses for OCC include client-specific expenditures for
				attorneys and administrative law judges in adult and child protective service
				cases.
Some divisions and offices have elected to fund part or all of
				their Social Services Block Grant administrative expenditures from other
				sources in order to have more Social Services Block Grant funds available for
				the purchase or direct delivery of services. In such cases, only the costs
				funded under the Social Services Block Grant have been shown.
A portion of the funding allocated to the Office of Finance and
				Administration's cost center may be utilized for specialized projects as
				determined by the DHS Director such as a one-time funded project. An example of
				such, would be the emergency funding for specific SSBG services.
Riot Projects
Certain aspects of purchased services may be initiated as pilot
				projects and may continue until sufficient data has been gathered and verified
				to determine the feasibility of incorporating the project into general
				use.
FINANCIAL SUM MARIES AND ESTIMATES OF CUENTS AND
				EXPENDITURES
Financial information lias been placed on summary sheets for
				each division and office (and the Arkansas Rehabilitation Services and Arkansas
				Spinal Cord Commission) which provides direct or purchased services with Social
				Services Block Grant funding. The funding for services is arranged in sections
				by Department division or office. Each section devoted to a division or office
				(or agency) program includes:
(1) a
			 Financial Information Summary listing all of the Social Services Block Grant
			 funded services offered by that agency and the source of funding (federal,
			 state, local donated, or local appropriated) and
(2) Estimates of Clients and Expenditures for
			 Services by Service Delivery Area reflecting estimates of clients and
			 expenditures by service, geographic availability (by service area), and
			 national goals applicable for each service. These pages also show total funding
			 figures for all Social Service Block Grant services offered by the Department
			 agency and, if Social Service Block Grant funds are used to pay for costs other
			 than those expended for the direct or purchase delivery of services, the total
			 administrative costs for that agency.
Estimates of clients to be served and expenditures are totaled
				for all program agencies and shown in the Appendix.

*Services provided under the Together We Can Program are
				provided based upon a family-focused philosophy that is essential to the
				success of the program. The program plan approved by the Director of the
				Arkansas Department of Human Services specifies that the family is a
				participating member of the local inter-agency multi-disciplinary team who
				develops and approves the multi-agency plan of service (MAPS). The family shall
				have authority over the final selection of any service providers approved by
				the local team for services delivered in accordance with the MAPS.
