Addressing

Needs and

Community

Health by

Optimizing Resources


13/33

Human Services in Virginia are supported by hundredsof different sources of Federal Funding. Although theamount of Federal funding that the Commonwealthmay receive for these programs is unlimited, the

percentage of Federal financial participation for eachprogram is set.

The concept is not new. Local governments aremaking major contributions of local only funding in

support of services eligible for Federal financialparticipation. Revenues that come back to the localitycan also be used to obtain additional Federalentitlement dollars. The funds to be maximized cannotbe included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing ormatching requirements of any other Federal award.

Financial Overview


14/33

Federal Program Fund Sources

The programs that can be accessedinclude:

Title IV-E Foster Care and Adoption

Title XIX - Medicaid

Title XVI - Supplemental SecurityIncome

Title IV-D - Child SupportEnforcement

Food Stamps, and

Temporary Assistance to Needy

Families


15/33

Financial considerations

For example, the Federal FinancialParticipation (FFP) rate for Title IV-Eadministrative activities is 50 percent,

meaning that the Federal governmentwill pay for half (50 percent) of theprograms total cost. Thus, the amount

of Federal funding available to the

Commonwealth and its localities islimited only by their ability to identifyand appropriate the non-Federal(matching) funds required.
