ADDITIONAL GRANTS
§ 3150.11. Departmental responsibility.
(a) The Department will select grant recipients from the applications submitted. The primary criteria used by the Department in making grant award selections will be:
(1) The relative need for new social services as identified by the public agency or the court.
(2) The feasibility and merit of the proposal.
(3) The extent to which legislative objectives and the Department’s priorities are met.
(4) The amount of State funds available.
(b) The grant award must fund up to 100% of the allowable costs of the proposed new services. The allowable costs are defined in Chapter 3170 (relating to allowable costs and procedures for county children and youth). State funding will be provided in conjunction with Federal, county, local or private funding where these are available. In determining the level of nonState participation, counties will be treated in an equitable fashion.
(c) Grants will be funded on an annual basis but may be extended for up to 2 additional years. No new services will be funded under the provisions of this chapter for longer than the first 3 years of operation.
(d) Upon approval, the Department will notify the county as to the amount of the grant award and the percentage of State financial participation in the total proposal. Full payment of the grant award will be made at that time.
(e) Overpayments reported under § 3150.12(c) (relating to county responsibility) will be adjusted against the next year’s reimbursement for services to children and youth, provided in accordance with an approved plan for an additional grant or with an approved annual services plan and budget estimate.
(f) The Department will monitor the use of grant funds through periodic onsite regional office review.
