Description

The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) is a flexible source of funds that states use to support a wide variety of social services activities. States have broad discretion over the use of these funds. In FY2009, the most recent year for which expenditure data are available, the largest expenditures for services under the SSBG were for child care, foster care, and special services for the disabled. The FY2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 2055, P.L. 112-74) provided $1.7 billion for the SSBG in FY2012, the same level of funding as had been requested in the FY2012 Presidentäó»s Budget. This is also the same level of annually appropriated funding that the SSBG has received in every year since FY2002. Contents of this report: Introduction; Use of Funds; Eligibility; Allocation of Funds; Transfer of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Funds to SSBG; Funding; State Reporting Requirements; Recent Expenditures; Recent Legislative Action. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
