Funding Formula and Fiscal Management

PURPOSE: This rule describes the division’s fiscal management responsibilities under Title III of the Older Americans Act. (1) The division in consultation with all area agencies on aging (AAAs) shall develop and use an intrastate funding formula for the Disability Services allocation of funds received under Title III of the Older Americans Act (the Act) and Title III-B funds utilized for outreach demonstration projects and the ombudsman program. (2) The intrastate funding formula for the state of Missouri shall be established by the proportion of the population in each planning and service area (PSA) as calculated by using the following four (4) factors: (A) All adults in each PSA sixty (60) years of age or older; (B) All adults in each PSA sixty (60) years of age or older who are low income; (C) All adults in each PSA who are sixty (60) years of age or older who are lowincome minorities; (D) All adults in each PSA who are sixty (60) years of age or older who are in the greatest social need. The basis for this factor shall be determined by the number of adults who are of the appropriate age— 1. With a physical or mental disability; 2. With a language barrier; 3. Who are geographically isolated; or 4. Who are culturally or socially isolated; (E) Data used to compute the area agency on aging allotment percentages will be derived from the most recent decennial Census of Population and Housing, for the following categories: 1. Population sixty (60) years of age and over; 2. Population sixty (60) years of age and over, below poverty; 3. Population sixty (60) years of age and over, minority below poverty; 4. Population sixty (60) years of age and over, rural or geographically isolated; and 5. Population sixty (60) years of age and over, minority; (F) Data from the most recent decennial Census of Population and Housing, will be used for the following categories: 1. Population sixty (60) years of age and over with a disability; 2. Population sixty (60) years of age and over with limited English. (3) The funds allocated to each area agency on aging shall include an identical base amount to each AAA in the state and an amount allotted using the factors in section (2). (4) The division shall use the data from the most recent decennial census in computing allotment percentages. In addition, the division shall revise allotment percentages, at least, biennially in accordance with population estimates made available through the Missouri Office of Administration. (5) Area agencies on aging shall have available not more than ten percent (10%) of the total federal Older Americans Act Title III Part B, Part C-1, Part C-2, and Part E funds for paying such percentage, but not more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the cost of administration of the area plan. The ten percent (10%) administration allowance shall only be taken from amounts made available to the area agencies on aging from federal Older Americans Act Title III Part B, Part C-1, Part C-2, and Part E.
