Each Area Agency on Aging must submit to the Department for approval an annual budget. The budget must detail how the Area Agency on Aging implements goals and objectives during the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget must:

(A) Tie taxonomy services between service unit projections and budgets;

(B) Provide cost itemization of equipment with cumulative cost of $5,000 or more and expenditures involving renovation, construction, and data processing equipment;

(C) Identify any proprietary or for profit contracts;

(D) Identify all subgrantees and contractors who receive Older Americans Act of 1965 funds, including dollar amounts for each; and

(E) Provide an indication of planned expansion or reduction activities.

007.01 DEPARTMENT REVIEW. The Department will review the annual budget prior to approval. The review will include, but not be limited to:

(A) A review of Area Agency objectives and their relationships to the Area Plan and budget;

(B) A review of the last assessment of the Area Agency on Aging including progress made on any deficiencies found during that assessment;

(C) Evidence of coordination with other agencies;

(D) Targeting of resources to socially and economically needy, low-income minority, rural older persons and Native Americans;

(E) A match of no less than 25% of the approved Area Plan and budget from local sources; and

(F) Compliance with the Act, these Rules and Regulations and the Older Americans Act of 1965, and its rules and regulations.

007.02 SUBAWARD ISSUANCE. The Governing Unit of the Area Agency on Aging must accept the subaward or grant before the annual budget is effective, once approved and issued by the Department. Acceptance of the subaward or grant is accomplished by the return of an executed subaward or grant.

007.03 NOTICE OF REVISION. An Area Agency on Aging will receive a notice of revision, which states the items to be revised, if, after review, the Department determines revisions to the submitted annual budget are required to be in compliance with the Act, this Title, the Older Americans Act of 1965, or its rules and regulations.

007.04 RESUBMISSION. An Area Agency on Aging must resubmit a revised annual budget within 15 days from the postmark of the rejection by the Department of the annual budget.

(A) Issue a subaward or grant providing conditional approval, setting the conditions and date for compliance; or

(B) Approve the continued operation by the Area Agency on Aging under the previously approved Area Plan or budget, or both until a revised annual budget is approved, but in no case for more than 180 days.

007.06 AMENDMENTS OF ANNUAL BUDGET. Before an Area Agency on Aging can implement its budget, the Area Agency on Aging must obtain the approval of the budget from the Department. Failure to apply for an amendment of the annual budget, or to receive approval for an amendment, constitutes non-compliance and is cause for withdrawal of designation. Any request for approval of amendment must be accompanied by

(B) Proposed amended budget;

(C) Proposed amended service or action statement;

(D) Any pages of the Area Plan and budget that are altered as a result of the changes; and
