The information submitted by Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III and VII grantees is the Administration for Community Livings' (ACL) principle source for data and information on programs and services funded under the OAA. The State Performance Report serves as the Program Performance Report for the state grantees to meet their annual grantee reporting requirements and includes the data required by the OAA to be reported in the AoA Annual Report to Congress. The data collection is summary data of services for seniors provided or managed by State Units on Aging (SUA) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). Data is submitted annually by the 50 states, five Territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands), and Washington, D.C. It includes information on the number of people served and their characteristics, the number of units of specific services, expenditures, total expenditures, number of state and local
staff. Data from the SPR are a significant source for performance measures in the Congressional budget justification; the HHS Annual Performance Plan and Report as well as the Annual Report to Congress referred to above. ACL also uses the data to respond to inquiries from stakeholders, the public, the press as well as program and policy decision makers.
