State and Territorial Lead Agencies administering child care programs under the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 1990 as amended, and other interested parties. |
| References: | The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 as amended (CCDBG Act); section 418 of the Social Security Act; 45 CFR 98 and 99; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2002 (P.L. 107-116). |
| Purpose: | To convey the Final FY 2002 State/Territorial allotments and earmarks for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). |
|
Basic for Allocations: |
The final allocations are based on the following statistics:
child population from the 2000 census data; FY 2000 Participants
in the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program from the Department
of Agriculture; and Per Capita Personal Income for 1997, 1998
and 1999 from the Department of Commerce, issued October 2000. |
| Incresed Matching Funds: |
Total Matching Funds for FY 2002 are increased by $146,805,000 over FY 2001, in accord with section 418(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. |
| Increased Discretionary Funds: |
In P.L. 107-116, Congress appropriated
$2,099,994,000 for the Discretionary Fund for FY 2002, an increase
of $100,000,000 over FY 2001. These new funds are reflected in
the Discretionary Fund allocations shown in the FY 2002 CCDF Final
Allocations chart attached to this Information Memorandum. The
increase in the Discretionary Fund was also reflected in the revised
allotment listed in the grant award letter that States received
early in January 2002. As in fiscal year 2001, the earmark for quality improvement remains at $272,672,000, of which $100,000,000 is again earmarked for activities to improve the quality of infant and toddler care. In addition, $19,120,000 of the Discretionary Fund is earmarked for child care resource and referral and school-age child care activities; $1,000,000 of this earmark is designated for the Child Care Aware toll-free hotline. Note: P.L. 107-116 directs that the Discretionary Fund must be used to supplement, not supplant, State general revenue funds for child care assistance for low-income families. |
