3SSBG Annual Report 2017: Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Since its establishment in 1981, the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) has allocated federal funds to states to support services for at risk children, adults, and families. The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administers the SSBG. States have broad discretion in the specific programs supported with SSBG funds and may tailor the use of these funds over time to best meet the needs of their populations.

In addition to their annual SSBG fund allocation, states may transfer up to 10 percent of their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grants to the SSBG.1 Funds transferred from TANF to SSBG are to be used only for programs or services to children or their families whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal income poverty guideline applicable to a family of the size involved.2 Each year, states must report their Total SSBG Expenditures for services and the total number of recipients served. This report reviews Total SSBG Expenditures and service recipients during fiscal year (FY) 2017.

SSBG regulations establish 29 SSBG service categories by which states may report Total SSBG Expenditures and recipients.3 OCS has further grouped the 29 SSBG service categories into eight SSBG High Level Service Areas to facilitate the evaluation and analysis of data related to services and impact.4 These High Level Service Areas are: Child Welfare/Youth at Risk, Counseling and Support, Day Care – Children, Health and Wellbeing, Self-Sufficiency, Special Services – Disabled, Vulnerable and Elderly Adults, and Additional Support Services.

States expended $2.52 billion in Total SSBG Expenditures in FY 2017, serving 24.3 million individuals and their families. Of the Total SSBG Expenditures, almost $1.56 billion (62 percent) were SSBG expenditures from the states’ SSBG allocations and $952 million (38 percent) were expenditures of TANF transfer funds. Of the total recipients, almost 10.4 million (43 percent) were children and 14 million were adults (57 percent). The High Level Service Area with the highest Total SSBG Expenditures was Child Welfare/Youth at Risk with $807 million (32 percent).

A fundamental principle of block grant accountability is that the federal government must be assured that the funds are spent for the designated purposes. OCS has worked to implement two performance and accountability measures for the SSBG, while preserving the block grant’s inherent flexibility. A measure of a state’s percentage of Total SSBG Expenditures as administrative costs ensures states work to maximize funds for the direct provision of services, while a second measure examines states pre-expenditure planning by comparing planned to actual expenditures. In FY 2017, states collectively reported 2.5 percent of Total SSBG Expenditures as administrative costs and spent 85 percent of expenditures as planned.

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY This section provides an overview of the policy and regulations that established and govern the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG), including the reporting requirements that states must fulfill. In this report, “states” include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

BRIEF HISTORY ON POLICY AND REGULATIONS The The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-35) amended Title XX to establish the SSBG. The SSBG is a capped entitlement program. This means that states are entitled to their share of funds, according to a formula, from an amount of money that is capped in the statute at a specific level (also known as a funding ceiling). Each year, Congress determines the level of funding to be appropriated to the SSBG. SSBG funds are allocated to each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia according to their relative population size.5 Designated state agencies administer the SSBG (see Appendix A for state agency contact information).

Section 404(d) of the Social Security Act establishes a state’s authority to transfer no more than 10 percent of funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant to SSBG.6 Funds transferred from TANF to SSBG are to be used only for programs or services to children or their families whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal income poverty guideline applicable to a family of the size involved.7 Funds transferred into the SSBG from TANF are subject to the statute, regulations, and reporting requirements of the SSBG.

Federal law establishes five broad goals for the SSBG. Social services funded by states must be linked to one or more of these statutory goals8:

Achieve or Achieve or maintain maintain economic self-sufficiency, self-support to including prevent, reduce, reduction or or eliminate prevention of dependency dependency

1 2

Prevent or remedy neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interests or preserve, rehabilitate, or reunite families

3

Prevent or reduce inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care, or other forms of less intensive care

4

Secure referral or admission for institutional care when other forms of care are not appropriate, or providing services to individuals in institutions

HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF SSBG ALLOCATIONS SSBG entitlement ceilings have decreased from a high of $2.8 billion in fiscal year (FY) 1990 to $1.7 billion in FY 2017.9 While Congress originally authorized a $2.8 billion funding ceiling for SSBG in FY 1996, welfare reform legislation revised the annual SSBG funding ceiling to approximately $2.4 billion from 1997 to 2002.10 Under this legislation, the ceiling was set to return to $2.8 billion in FY 2003. However, in 1998, the Transportation Equity Act (TEA) established a new, lower SSBG funding ceiling of $1.7 billion starting in FY 2001. Since the enactment of the TEA, the $1.7 billion annual SSBG allocation has remained largely unchanged.

One exception includes the Budget Control Act of 2011, which imposed automatic budget cuts (known as sequestration) reducing the allocation of the SSBG funds to the states. The Budget Control Act allows for the continued sequestration of SSBG funds until FY 2025. For FY 2017, there was $1.58 billion available after sequestration.

REPORTING PROCEDURES Before a state receives SSBG funds, it must submit a report specifying the intended use of the block grant funds, including information on the types of activities to be supported and the categories of individuals to be served.11 This report contains two parts: the Intended Use Plan and the Pre-Expenditure Report. The Intended Use Plan is a narrative description of a state’s intended service programs while the Pre-Expenditure Report details planned expenditures and expected recipients by service category.

These combined reports are submitted annually to the Office of Community Services (OCS) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Intended Use Plan and Pre-Expenditure Report are submitted 30 days prior to the start of the fiscal year.12 States submit a revised Intended Use Plan and Pre-Expenditure Report if the planned use of SSBG funds changes during the year.

HHS regulations require each state to submit an annual Post-Expenditure Report. The Post-Expenditure Report is submitted either six months after the end of the reporting period, or at the time the state submits the Pre-Expenditure Report for the next reporting period.13 States are required to use a standardized Post-Expenditure Report that includes information on the use of SSBG funds, TANF transfer funds, and the number of individuals served.14 States also report on other federal, state, and local funds used in conjunction with SSBG funds, and whether a public or private agency provided the service.

Data from states’ Post-Expenditure Reports are the basis for information presented in this report.15

SSBG Annual Report 2017: Background and History 5

REGULATIONS AND AUTHORITYDEFINITIONS OF EXPENDITURES AND RECIPIENTS

Total SSBG Expenditures – Total SSBG Expenditures refers to the sum of two separate funding sources reported by states, expenditures of the SSBG allocation (referred to as SSBG Expenditures, see below) and expenditures of the funds transferred into the SSBG from the TANF block grant (referred to as TANF transfer funds, see below).

SSBG Expenditures – States report dollars spent from their SSBG allocation for services and administrative costs. The amount reported may differ from the annual SSBG allocation if the full amount was not expended in the fiscal year during which it was allocated, or if a portion of the SSBG allocation from the previous year was expended during the reporting year.

TANF Transfer Funds – States report any expended dollars transferred from the TANF block grant into the SSBG. A state may transfer up to 10 percent of its annual TANF block grant allocation into its SSBG program.16 Funds transferred from TANF to SSBG are to be used only for programs or services to children or their families whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal income poverty guideline applicable to a family of the size involved.17

Other Federal, State, and Local Funds – States report the total amount of other federal, state, and local funds spent for each service provided in part or in whole by SSBG funds. States do not report other federal, state, and local funds for services in which no SSBG funds were reported.

Recipients – States report the actual or estimated number of adult and child recipients for each service category funded, in part or in whole, with SSBG funds.18, 19


SSBG HIGH LEVEL SERVICE AREAS States have broad discretion in the specific services they provide with SSBG funds. The final rule issued in 1993 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Code of Fed-eral Regulations, included uniform definitions for 28 social services. If a service falls outside of the 28 definitions, states report their expenditure and recipient data under Other Services.20, 21

OCS has grouped the 29 SSBG service categories into eight SSBG High Level Service Areas to facilitate the evaluation and analysis of data. Service area groupings were determined based on a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and a thorough review of the Uniform Definition of Services to identify related categories.22, 23 These service areas will simplify the evaluation of categories to better demonstrate the significance of SSBG funds dedicated to services, systems, and communities across the nation. For a breakdown of service categories by High Level Service Area, see the infographic below:

SSBG EXPENDITURES AND RECIPIENTS

This section provides a summary of states’ reported Total SSBG Expenditures and recipients for each High Level Service Area. Highlights of the service categories with the highest Total SSBG Expenditures are also provided.

TOTAL SSBG EXPENDITURES $2,516,201,132

$1,564,529,526 SSBG EXPENDITURES

$951,671,606 TANF TRANSFERS

States report Total SSBG Expenditures from two different funding sources: SSBG Expendi-tures from a state’s annual appropriation, and funds transferred from the state’s TANF block grant. While SSBG Expenditures can be spent for any of the 29 SSBG service categories or administrative costs, TANF transfer funds are limited to programs serving children and families whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal income poverty guideline.24

In FY 2017, Total SSBG Expenditures for all states combined to $2.52 billion. Of the Total SSBG Expenditures, $1.56 billion (62 percent) were from SSBG Expenditures and $952 million (38 percent) were from TANF transfer funds.

Figure 1 details how the $2.52 billion of Total SSBG Expenditures for FY 2017 were reported across the eight High Level Service Areas and administrative costs. Child Welfare/Youth at Risk, Additional Support Services, and Vulnerable and Elderly Adults were the top three service areas by expenditure, and combined accounted for just over 59 percent of all Total SSBG Expenditures:

FIGURE 1. Total SSBG Expenditures by High Level Service Area

SSBG Annual Report 2017: SSBG Expenditures and Recipients 8

Child Welfare/Youth at Risk services accounted for the highest Total SSBG Expenditures with 50 states reporting $807 million (32 percent). These services are targeted to improve the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and youth involved with or at risk of entering the child welfare or juvenile justice systems.

Additional Support Services accounted for the second highest Total SSBG Expenditures with 51 states reporting almost $392 million (16 percent). Additional Support Services can assist individuals or families in ways including, but not limited to: ■ preventing or intervening in cases of abuse, neglect, or family violence; ■ resolving housing or home-based needs; ■ obtaining legal help in civil matters; ■ accessing employment or educational training services; ■ providing or arranging transportation to obtain services; or ■ facilitating engagement in physical, cultural, or social development activities.

Vulnerable and Elderly Adults accounted for the third highest Total SSBG Expenditures with 47 states spending $292 million (12 percent). These services seek to improve the safety, permanency, and well-being of older adults. This can include efforts to reduce instances of emotional, physical, or financial abuse or neglect, and ensure safe and stable living situations.

SSBG Expenditures comprised the majority of Total SSBG Expenditures in six of the eight High Level Service Areas and administrative costs (see Figure 2). SSBG Expenditures accounted for greater than 99 percent of Total SSBG Expenditures for Vulnerable and Elderly Adults and accounted for two-thirds or greater of Total SSBG Expenditures for administrative costs (90 percent), Additional Support Services (84 percent), Self-Sufficiency (80 percent), Health and Wellbeing (77 percent), Counseling and Support (72 percent), and Special Services – Disabled (71 percent). TANF transfer funds accounted for the majority of Total SSBG Expenditures in Day Care – Children (82 percent) and Child Welfare/Youth at Risk (57 percent).

FIGURE 2. SSBG Expenditures and TANF Transfer Funds by High Level Service Area


TOTAL RECIPIENTS 24,307,502

10,371,200 CHILDREN

13,936,302 ADULTS

States reported 24.3 million recipients of SSBG services throughout FY 2017. Of this number, almost 10.4 million (43 percent) were children and 14 million (57 percent) were adults. The largest proportion of recipients (44 percent) was reported for Counseling and Support, followed by Additional Support Services (16 percent) and Day Care – Children (14 percent; see Figure 3).

FIGURE 3. Recipients by High Level Service Area

PROPORTION OF TOTAL SSBG EXPENDITURES AND RECIPIENTS BY SSBG HIGH LEVEL SERVICE AREA

Comparing the relative proportions of expenditures and recipients for each service area can reveal insights into how states prioritize their distribution of funds for services and the relative costs to provide these different services to recipients. Larger gaps between the percentage of all Total SSBG Expenditures and the percentage of all recipients can indicate the level of effort and resources needed to provide these services to residents.

The largest gaps between the percentage of expenditures and the percentage of recipients occurred in Child Welfare/Youth at Risk and Counseling and Support. Component services of Child Welfare/Youth at Risk, such as child protective services, may require extensive efforts to investigate instances of abuse and neglect while information and referral services may require less resources as these services aim to evaluate needs and make referrals to more specific resources.


FIGURE 4. Total SSBG Expenditures and Recipients by High Level Service Area

CHANGE IN TOTAL SSBG EXPENDITURES AND RECIPIENTS OVER TIME (FY 2015-FY 2017)

Changes in the use of SSBG funds and reported recipients from year to year can reveal trends in states’ social service priorities, target populations, and the relative cost of services provided.25

Total SSBG Expenditures have decreased by nine percent ($245 million) from FY 2015 to FY 2017. Counseling and Support and Self-Sufficiency were the only two High Level Service Areas to see an increase in expenditures (three percent and 14 percent, respectively) as compared to FY 2015, while all other service areas saw a decrease in expenditures between less than one percent and 32 percent (see Figure 5).

When comparing FY 2015 to FY 2017, states reported 2.4 million (nine percent) fewer recipients across all service areas. Reported recipients for Counseling and Support, Self-Sufficiency, and Additional Support Services saw increases in reported recipients between less than one and three percent while reported recipients for all other service areas saw decreases between six and 63 percent. Additional Support Services was the only service area that saw an increase in Total SSBG Expenditures while recipients decreased.

FIGURE 6. Top Three Service Categories by Total SSBG Expenditures

When examining the use of SSBG Expenditures, as compared to Total SSBG Expenditures (which include TANF transfer funds), the data demonstrates the use of TANF transfer funds plays a large role for many states in funding specific services. The three service categories with the most SSBG Expenditures (without TANF transfer funds) in FY 2017 were Protective Services – Adults, Special Services – Disabled, and Case Management ( see Figure 7).

FIGURE 7. Top Three Service Categories by SSBG Expenditures

The three service categories with the highest reported recipients in FY 2017 were Information and Referral (24 percent), Case Management (19 percent), and Day Care – Children (14 percent, see Figure 8). These three categories combined represent 58 percent of all the reported recipients across the 29 service categories.26

FIGURE 8. Top Three Service Categories by Recipients


OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL FUNDS States report Total SSBG Expenditures and recipients for any service supported in part or in whole by SSBG Expenditures. For these services, states also report the total amount of other federal, state, and local funds expended for that service. States do not report other federal, state, and local funds for service categories where no Total SSBG Expenditures were reported. States provide a brief description of the source of these other funds in their post-expenditure reporting. This section provides the total amount of reported other federal, state, and local funds reported as well as the most commonly noted sources of those funds across states.

In FY 2017, states collectively reported over $28.8 billion in other federal, state, and local funds used to provide services where SSBG funds were also used. The most commonly reported source of other funds was general state and local funds, followed closely by Title IV-B and Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, and the Child Care and Development Block Grant. States also reported using Title XIX and Medicaid funds.


SSBG HIGH LEVEL SERVICE AREAS The following section reviews Total Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Expenditures and recipients reported for each High Level Service Area in FY 2017. Total SSBG Expenditures are the combination of states’ reported SSBG Expenditures from their annual allocations, and expenditures of the funds transferred into the SSBG from the states’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grants.27, 28

CHILD WELFARE/YOUTH AT RISK In FY 2017, 50 states reported Total SSBG Expenditures for Child Welfare/Youth at Risk totaling $807 million. Of the Total SSBG Expenditures for Child Welfare/Youth at Risk, $344 million (43 percent) were from SSBG Expenditures and almost $463 million (57 percent) were TANF transfer funds.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT The SSBG affords states substantial discretion in the use of funds to provide services. OCS has worked with the Office of Management and Budget to develop approaches for program assessment that afford sufficient accountability while preserving the inherent flexibility of SSBG funds. A fundamental principle of block grant accountability is that the federal government must be assured that the funds are spent only for the designated purposes.

OCS developed two performance measures to improve efficiency and accountability within states’ SSBG programs. The first of these measures analyzes states’ pre-expenditure plans and reported SSBG Expenditures to determine the percentage of SSBG Expenditures that each state spent as originally planned. The second performance measure examines states’ administrative costs compared to the funds used for the direct provision of services.

EFFICIENCY: SSBG EXPENDITURES TO PLAN PERFORMANCE Comparison of states’ Pre-Expenditure and Post-Expenditure Reports is conducted annually to determine the extent to which funds were spent “in a manner consistent” with their planned use, as required by the law that authorizes the program, which can be found at 42 U.S.C. §1397e(a). This measure encourages rigorous planning efforts by states. The performancemeasure examines only states’ reported SSBG Expenditures (not including administrative costs) rather than Total SSBG Expenditures (which may include TANF transfer funds).

The summary performance measure represents the percentage of SSBG Expenditures spent as planned. The performance measure is capped at 100 percent, reflecting how close a state came to spending at least the dollars it committed to spend as planned in the Pre-Expenditure Report. OCS established a target percentage of 80 percent for FY 2017.

Overall, states spent 85 percent of SSBG Expenditures as originally planned in FY 2017. Individually, 40 states met the performance measure goal of spending at least 80 percent of SSBG Expenditures as projected. Fifteen states did not meet the performance measure goal, spending 22 to 79.7 percent of SSBG Expenditures as projected (see Figure 45).

ADMINISTRATION: TOTAL SSBG EXPENDITURES AS ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

States may use SSBG funds for administrative costs such as training, licensing activities, and the overhead costs of providing services. States may pay for these administrative functions entirely with SSBG funds or may use several funding sources. The purpose of the administra-tive costs efficiency measure is to ensure that maximum funds are used for the direct provision of services.

OCS established a target goal for states’ administrative costs not to exceed nine percent of Total SSBG Expenditures.34 Total SSBG Expenditures are the combination of states’ reported SSBG Expenditures from their annual allocations, and expenditures of the funds transferred into the SSBG from the states’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grants.35, 36

SSBG Annual Report 2017: Performance Measurement 37

In FY 2017, 42 states spent almost $64 million for administrative costs, accounting for 2.5 percent of Total SSBG Expenditures. Of these 42 states, 39 states reported administrative costs accounting for nine percent or less of Total SSBG Expenditures. Three states did not meet the target goal for administrative costs, spending between 11 and 12 percent of Total SSBG Expenditures on administrative costs. Fifteen states reported zero Total SSBG Expenditures for administrative costs (see Figure 46).

From FY 2015 to FY 2017, there has been a five percent decrease in Total SSBG Expenditures for administrative costs, from over $67 million in FY 2015 to $64 million in FY 2017.
