Social Services Block Grant (SSBG)

(Title IX)


The bill makes a 15 percent reduction in the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funding from the FY 1995 authorized level of $2.8 billion. For FY 1996, funding is $2.381 billion. For FY 1997-2002, funding is $2.38 billion. For FY 2003 and thereafter, funding reverts to $2.8 billion. The bill clarifies that SSBG funding can be used for vouchers for families ineligible for or denied cash assistance under Title IV-A because of a family cap or the five-year time limit on benefits.
