Does the quality set-aside apply to the full CCDF grant award?

Yes, the law continues the current policy of applying the quality set-aside to the full CCDF grant award, including discretionary, mandatory, and matching funds.  State maintenance of effort (MOE) funds are not included in the quality set-aside.  The minimum quality spending requirements will be determined as a percentage of expenditures from each fiscal year’s allocation (as was the case prior to reauthorization) as reported by the State on the CCDF expenditure report (ACF-696).
