AGING ADMINISTERING PLANS UNDER TITLE III OF THE OLDER AMERICANS
ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED
SUBJECT : REALLOTMENT PROCEDURE for 1998
TITLE III Formula Grant Funds
LEGAL AND RELATED REFERENCES : Section
304(b) of the Older Americans Act of 1965, As Amended
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide
guidance for state agencies to notify the Administration on Aging
(AoA) of:
1) the amount, if any, of FY 1998 Title III funds which states
will not use by September 30, 1998, and will release for reallotment;
and 2) the request for additional Title III funds which could
be obligated by the state agencies in FY 1998 and, FY 1999. As
you know, Title III funds, which are made available through reallotment,
are available for obligation by state agencies during the following
fiscal year in which funds were appropriated.
Release of Funds
State agencies not intending to use the full amount of their
Title III allotments should submit a statement signed by the authorized
state agency official releasing Title III funds for reallotment.
This statement must identify from which allotment the funds are
being released. If a state releases funds for reallotment, a revised
Grant Award will be issued reflecting the decrease.
Request for Funds
If additional funds can be utilized, state agencies should submit
a brief statement requesting additional funds signed by the appropriate
state agency official. The statement must identify the allotment
for which additional funds are being requested. States should
submit an original and one copy of their statements to the AoA
Regional Administrator by September 11, 1998. States are reminded
that funds received in reallotment are one-time awards, and there
is no assurance of the receipt of similar amounts in FY 1999.
