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,
				2005.
Public Review Process
A public review period will be initiated on March 20, 2005 by a
				notice in a statewide newspaper and will conclude April 18, 2005. 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.
Arkansas Department of Human Services Office of Finance and
				Administration General Operations Section, Slot W405 P.O. Box 1437 Little Rock,
				AR 72203
Comments pertaining to aspects of the program for which a
				division or office has responsibility will be forwarded to that agency for
				response. Changes made as a result of public comment will be included in an
				update to the document.

				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 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 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.
The Department is organized into the following divisions and
				offices:

OPERATION OF THE
SOCIAL SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
IN ARKANSAS
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 ongoing 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 are 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. Social Services Block Grant funds
				may pay for services such as day care when clients are no longer eligible for
				payment from TEA in order for the individual to maintain employment.
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 who
				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

				along with Social Services Block Grant funding in the programs for which they
				are responsible.

				year.
Division of Behavioral Health Services (DBH): The Division
				utilizes the following resources: State of Arkansas General Revenue Funds (to
				fund the Division and operate programs including community support programs);

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Most Social Services Block Grant funded services are provided
				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 while receiving the service.
3. The person must meet the financial
			 criteria peculiar to the service for which application is made.
The eligibility categories for financial criteria are defined
				as follows:
TEA: This category refers to recipients of Transitional
				Employment Assistance, essential persons, and adult relatives whose needs were
				taken into account in determining the TEA grant.
SSI: This category refers to any aged, blind, or disabled
				individual receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits.
Income Eligible Recipients: This category refers to individuals
				whose income does not exceed the income levels shown in Table 1. Eligibility
				under this category is based on percentages of median income adjusted by family
				size. The income scale is based on the Estimated State Median Income for
				4-Person Families for Federal Fiscal Year 1998 issued by the Administration for
				Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services. Complete income
				eligibility information is shown in Table 1 on page 14.
Without Regard to Income: This category refers to individuals
				for whom financial status is not considered, but is limited to individuals
				receiving Protective Services for Adults and Children. When required by a
				protective service case plan, any service funded by the Social Services Block
				Grant and described in this Plan may be provided without regard to income when
				eligibility cannot be established under another category.
Status Eligible: This category will be used to establish
				eligibility for clients of the Division of Youth Services (DYS) who fall into
				the priority target population of DYS and who cannot be established as eligible
				under the first four categories listed above. Youth in this category are
				eligible regardless of financial status; however, documentation must exist in
				the provider's case record that the youth is either a delinquent or family in
				need of services.
Additional or substitute requirements to satisfy eligibility
				standards may only be established on an individual contract basis upon written
				approval by the DHS Chief Fiscal Officer or designee.
National Goals
Each service provided to an individual must be directed at one
				of the following national goals:
I.
			 Achieving or maintaining economic self-support to prevent, reduce, or eliminate
			 dependency
II. Achieving or
			 maintaining self-sufficiency, including reduction or prevention of
			 dependency
III. Preventing or
			 remedying neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children and adults unable to
			 protect their own interest, or preserving, rehabilitating or reuniting
			 families
IV. Preventing or reducing
			 inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care,
			 home-based care, or other forms of less intensive care
V. Securing referral or admission for
			 institutional care when other forms of care are not appropriate, or providing
			 services to individuals in institutions
Application Process
Application for services may be made either by the applicant or
				the applicant's authorized representative in the office of a contract provider
				or in the Department of Human Services county office in the county in which the
				applicant resides.

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
				Services, 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.

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 Manual
.

FUNDING
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 was established in 1975. At
				the outset, the federal funding level was set at $2.5 billion, available to
				states at a 75 percent rate with 25 percent matching required; an additional
				$200 million was appropriated for day care programs, but without the matching
				requirement. In the Social Services Block Grant, the funding was 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 was
				$1.725 billion; $50 million less than the federal fiscal year 2000
				appropriation. Funding has been $1.7 billion since 2002 and funding for federal
				fiscal year 2006 is also estimated at $1.7 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 2006.

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. A portion of the funding is allocated
				to cover costs associated with the administration and management of the
				program. Table 4 shows program area funding estimates and other related
				allocation information. Administrative costs are defined and described on the
				following pages.

Funding Percentages
Approximately 84.1837% of funding for the Social Services Block
				Grant program in Arkansas is federal funds. The 15.8163% match is made up of
				61.2106% state funds, 12.1195% local government funds and 26.6699% local
				donated funds.
Administrative Costs
Administrative costs are those costs incurred by the Department
				of Human Services which are primarily for the management, supervision, or
				administrative support of the Social Services Block Grant program as opposed to
				the delivery of services. The administrative costs for this program are
				$1,284,785 budgeted to the Office of Finance and Administration (OFA).
Activities considered administrative costs for OFA include:
				cost of planning, policy development,
budgeting and administration.
Other divisions, offices and agencies funding administrative
				expenditures from Social Services Block
Grants are:
* The Office of Chief Counsel, $147,972 for legal library
				maintenance, travel expenses and appearance fees related to medical testimony
				for child protective service cases, and miscellaneous administrative
				costs.
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.
Projected administrative expenditures of the Office of Finance
				and Administration under the Social Services Block Grant are based on the funds
				appropriated for the Office of Finance and Administration's biennial
				budget.
Pilot 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 SUMMARIES AND ESTIMATES OF CLIENTS AND
				EXPENDITURES
Financial information has 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.
