The Federal Government awards certain block grant funds to the State for various social service programs. These Federal block grants include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Title XX (Social Security Act)

The State assumes certain fiscal administrative responsibilities for these block grants. State departments which administer block grants will require recipients (public and private non-profit organizations) to comply with certain specific fiscal requirements.

 

Administering State Department Requirements

State departments which administer block grants will:

  1. Require grant recipients to submit two quarterly reports—
    1. the "Grant Financial Status Report," an accountability report; and
    2. the "Grant Cash Transaction Report," a cash flow report.

      The final forms of the two quarterly reports may be developed by the administering department as long as the information contained in the sample reports shown as SAM Section 8760 Illustration 1 and 2 is reported.

  2. Require grant recipients to maintain detailed accounting records which form the basis for the grant reports;
  3. Retain the grant reports for fiscal management and control purposes;
  4. Take appropriate action, which may include canceling/withdrawing the grant, if grant reports are not submitted timely; and
  5. Require, as an option, additional information/reports from grant recipients to supplement the information contained in the two quarterly reports.

 

Grant Recipient Requirements

All grant recipients will:

  1. Complete two quarterly grant reports—
    1. The "Grant Financial Status Report" (see SAM Section 8760 Illustration l for a sample report format and instructions); and
    2. The "Grant Cash Transaction Report" (see SAM Section 8760 Illustration 2 for a sample report format and instructions);
  2. Submit the grant reports to the administering department by the 20th calendar day following the end of each quarter;
  3. Maintain detailed accounting records which form the basis for the grant reports; and
  4. Retain and have the accounting records available for audit for a minimum of three years from the report submission date.
