This focus report will examine states’ use of allowable transfers of funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant to their Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) programs.
The TANF block grant law provides that states may transfer up to 10 percent of their TANF grant 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 income poverty guideline applicable to a family of the size involved (as defined and revised annually by the Office of Management and Budget).
The purpose of this message is to provide you with an update on apportionment of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019. These awards represent the final release of funding to date for FY 2019.
