§ 256M.50 — Federal Grant Allocation

Plain-Language Summary

Federal social services money received by Minnesota under Title XX of the Social Security Act is distributed to counties using the same formula as state funds under section 256M.40, with small amounts held back for administration and migrant day care. Counties must follow all federal rules and restrictions on how Title XX funds may be used, including prohibitions on certain expenditure types.

Practical Notes
Title XX funds add a federal layer of social services funding on top of state funds, and counties must comply with both state and federal requirements to receive them. If a county uses these funds improperly, it can lose the federal reimbursement. This affects the total pool of money available for services to vulnerable children and adults in each county.
