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 was initiated on March 20, 2005 by a notice in a statewide newspaper and concluded April 18, 2005. The Arkansas Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) 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.

DHHS 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

DHHS 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 Health & Human Services (DHHS) to create a unified, comprehensive service delivery system in Arkansas to improve the accessibility, availability, quality, and accountability of services delivered or purchased by DHHS and to improve the administration and management of resources available to DHHS. 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.

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 of Children and Family Services

Division of County Operations

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.

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.

To meet the needs of persons with developmental disabilities and to maintain flexibility in managing these funding sources, the relative use of the various funding sources may change throughout the program 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); per capita funds (monies appropriated to mental health centers on the basis of population in the catchment area served and used for program operations); National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grants (community support programs) Community Mental Health Block Grant (to fund mental health programs: Title XIX; State of Arkansas General Revenue Funds and Special Revenue Funds (for detoxification services, Drug and Alcohol Safety Educational Programs, etc.); Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Performance Partnership Block Grant Funds (for planning, establishing, maintaining, coordinating and evaluating projects for the development of fore effective prevention, intervention and treatment programs/activities to deal with alcohol and other drug abuse); the Governor's Office portion of the Department of Education Drug-Free Schools and Communities (used for development and implementation of broadly-based programs of alcohol and drug abuse education and prevention, including programs for high-risk youth, drug abuse resistance education and replication of successful drug education programs).

Arkansas Spinal Cord Commission (SCC): The Arkansas Spinal Cord Commission utilizes Social Services Block Grant funds along with State General Revenue Funds to provide services to individuals with spinal cord disabilities.

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 DHHS 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 Health & 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, 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 Health and 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.

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 Health & 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 Health & 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, $616,846 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 DHHS 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.
