program. The statistics are needed to
complement information available for
the federally administered programs and
to more fully explain the impact of the
public income support programs on the
needy, aged, blind, and disabled. In
addition, the expenditure data are used
to monitor State compliance with the
mandatory pass-along provision.
States use our publications, which are
prepared from data submitted on this
statistical report, for administrative
purposes to compare their expenditures
and caseloads with those of other States,
to determine the feasibility of program
change, and to keep abreast of program
developments in other States. Federal
personnel request data about Stateadministered supplementation programs
to compare various State programs, to
examine the relationship of State
supplementation expenditures and
caseloads to federally financed
programs such as Medicaid, and to
determine the effect of changes in SSI
and other Federal programs on State
supplementation programs. In addition,
Federal and State personnel have used
data obtained from this report in
developing legislative proposals and
budget estimates.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 31.
Frequency of Response: 4.
Average Burden per Response: 60
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 124 hours.
