Each year, the Office of Community Services conducts standard reviews as required under Section 45 CFR Sections 96.70 through 96.74 (Subpart G). State reviews follow an Application Model for Social Services Block Program (SSBG) Based on the Availability of Funds to address programmatic and fiscal compliance with SSBG Act requirements.
The purpose of this message is to provide you with information regarading revision of project period and reporting of Hurricane Sandy SSBG Supplemental Funds Expenditures and Recipients and Closeout Requirements.
Each State is responsible for designing and implementing its own SSBG program, within very broad Federal guidelines. States must administer their SSBG program according to their approved plan, along with amendments, and in conformance with their own implementing rules and policies. Each year States are required to submit a pre-expenditure report or intended use plan as a prerequisite to receiving SSBG funds. This report helps to clarify the planned and actual use of SSBG funds for the provision of services in each State. The Office of Community Services (OCS) analyzes SSBG expenditure and recipient data reported through the pre-expenditure reporting in order to develop the SSBG Annual Report. This information also assists OCS in developing performance measures for the SSBG program.
This resource provides information to States regarding the distribution of Hurricane Sandy SSBG Supplemental Funds and provides guidance on allowable activities, reporting requirements, filing a Notice of Federal Interest, obligating and expending funds, and grantee monitoring.
