Abstract:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a revision to the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Post-Expenditure Report, Pre-Expenditure Report, and Intended Use Plan (OMB #0970-0234), previously titled, “Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Post-Expenditure Report”). ACF is proposing to expand the information collection to include the collection of states’ Intended Use Plans and retitle the information collection to clarify the role of the Pre-Expenditure Report. An Intended Use plan is a narrative to accompany a state’s pre-expenditure report and allows the ACF Office of Community Services to identify recipients, methods, and categories for state expenditure of SSBG funds. The proposed form will standardize reporting submissions for SSBG, which will increase the efficiency in reporting and assessment for grantees and federal staff.
