Abstract: As a center in the Administration for Community Living, the Administration on Aging (AoA) provides expertise on program development, advocacy, initiatives for older Americans, their caregivers, and families. Working with state agencies, local agencies, grantees, and community providers, AoA directs programs authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA), Elder Justice Act (EJA), and other legislation that supports older adults. Through these programs multi-year state plans, assurances, and other financial forms are needed to provide approval and oversight of grant recipients. The purpose of this information collection is for programmatic and financial management of the aging and APS formula grants. The state plan on aging provides the opportunity report achievements and planned activities for the multi-year plan period. A wide range of constituents use or will use the state plans to coordinate, monitor, evaluate, and improve aging network by using the state plans on aging as a blueprint for service planning and delivery. Additionally, ACL leverages state plans on aging to understand the numerous services older adults use, and to utilize the information for advocating the needs of older adults. The financial forms will assist in the facilitation of OAA formula grant management. And the CAP document will assist in compliance of OAA and EJA formula grants.
