Title III, of the Older Americans Act, Section 309(c), requires that a state's allotment be reduced by the percentage by which its state expenditures for a given fiscal year are less than its average annual expenditures from state sources for the period of three consecutive fiscal years preceding such fiscal year. Since information collected on the SF-269 report combines the funds from state and local sources, the Administration on Aging is unable to identify funds solely from State sources.
2. Purpose and Use of Information
The information contained on the Certification of Maintenance of Effort form will be used by the Administration on Aging to verify the amount of state expenditures and make comparisons with the average annual expenditures for the period of three consecutive fiscal years preceding the given year to assure that a state is in compliance with 45 CFR 1321.49.
3. Electronic Submission
The information may be submitted in electronic form.
4. Duplication
No other data source collects similar information.
