Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 18 - HUMAN SERVICES › Part 2 - Division of Aging and Adult Services › Chapter 1 - State Plan on Aging › Section 18-2-1-IX - Attachments › Attachment 18-2-1-IX-E - INTRASTATE FUNDING FORMULA

Current through June 25, 2024
The Mississippi Department of Human Services, Division of
					 Aging and Adult Services, in response to requirement of the Older American Act,
					 as amended, and the Administration on Aging's Program Instruction, submits the
					 Intrastate funding Formula for Fiscal Year 2007 - 2010. The Formula is designed
					 to address the needs of Mississippi's older population at the local level in
					 each planning and service area.
The guiding philosophy of the Intrastate Funding Formula is
					 to provide equitable funding to ensure quality service to persons age 60 and
					 above, including those in greatest economic or social need with particular
					 attention to low-income minority individuals.
The Intrastate Funding Formula is intended to address the
					 following goals:
1. To satisfy the requirements of the Older Americans Act
					 and Title III regulations.
2. To be simple and easy to apply.
3. To ensure access to the system by eligible
					 persons.
4. To objectively apply all requirements.
5. To correlate services with need.
6. To achieve balance between prevention and intervention
					 in the allocation of resources.
The Older Americans Act defines greatest social need as the
					 need cause by non economic factors, which include physical and mental
					 disabilities, language barriers, cultural, social, or geographic isolation
					 including those caused by racial or ethnic status with respect to an
					 individual's ability to perform normal daily task or which threaten such
					 individual's capacity to live independently. Since the definition is so broad
					 and nonspecific, it is assumed that many individuals aged 60 and over, who do
					 not fit into a specific category are in greatest social need. Therefore the
					 number of persons age 60 and over is included as a factor.
They Older Americans Act defines greatest economic need as
					 need resulting from an income level at or below poverty level established by
					 the Office of Management and Budget. This definition is applied to the formula
					 by including the number of people age 60 and over, with incomes at or below the
					 poverty level as a factor.
The Older Americans Act provides that particular attention
					 should be paid to low income minority individuals. Over 60% of those at or
					 below the poverty level are minority individuals and approximately one third of
					 the minority individuals are at or below the poverty level. Therefore, by
					 including age 60 and over at or below the poverty level and age 60 and over
					 minority individuals as factors, it is assumed that particular attention has
					 been paid to low income minority individuals.
The Older Americans Act refers to geographic isolation as
					 cause for need. It is assumed that persons who reside in rural area are more
					 geographically isolated, relative to those who reside in urban areas. Therefore
					 the number of person with a rural residence and 60 and over is included as a
					 factor.
The Mississippi Intrastate Funding Formula, developed in
					 consultation with the Area Agencies on Aging and the Planning and Development
					 Districts, and published and disseminated through public hearing, is weighted
					 as follows:
30 % Age 60 and over
25 % Age 60 and over Living Below the Poverty Level
30 % Age 60 and over Minority Living Below the Poverty
					 Level
15 % Age 60 and over Living in Rural Areas.
The Intrastate Funding Formula for Mississippi follows.
					 Table 1 describes the 1990 and 2000 Census comparison and difference by AAA.
					 Table 2 shows the 1990 and 2000 Census comparison pro rate percentage
					 difference by AAA; and Table 3 compares the pro rata percentage difference by
					 AAA. The Intrastate Funding Formula narrative indicates the weighted variables
					 and Chart 1 shows the percent of loss or gain by AAA.
Table 1 shows the numeric difference in the 1990 and 2000
					 Census.

HOW THE FUNDING FORMULA IS CALCULATED:
VARIABLES
Weights are assigned to each variable to total 100%.
					 The variables are:
(60+ Population, (60 + Below Poverty Level), (60 +
					 Minority Below Poverty Level), and (60 + Rural)
WEIGHTS
60 + Population is assigned a 30% weight, thus
					 .30
60 + Below Poverty is assigned a 25% weight, thus
					 .25
60 + Minority Below Poverty is assigned a 30%
					 weight, thus .30
60 + Rural is assigned a 15 % weight, thus
					 .15
FORMULA
((60 + Pop %) X .30) + ((60 + Below Poverty %) X .25)
					 + ((60+ Minority Below Poverty %) X .30) + ((60+ Rural %) X .15) = Funding
