CRS-4
to the state. It establishes an amount that the state may draw from the federal
government, but actual cash is drawn only when needed.
Table 2 summarizes TANF, CCDF, and welfare-to-work program grants and
expenditures. TANF and CCDF grants represent the sum of FY1997 and FY1998
grants; the welfare-to-work program made grants beginning in FY1998.
As of September 30, 1998, all three programs had some unexpended funds.
Almost all welfare-to-work funds were unspent. However, it should be noted that
having unspent grants at the end of a fiscal year is not unusual. In federal grants-to-
state programs, the time when grants are converted into actual spending is determined
by both federal deadlines for states to obligate and expend grant funds, and by state
decisions about obligating and expending funds. Each of the three programs has
different rules setting deadlines for obligating and expending grant funds. The CCDF
has different deadlines for the obligation and expenditure of discretionary,
mandatory, and matching funds. The welfare-to-work program allows 3 years for the
expenditure of mandatory grant funds. There is no deadline for the expenditure of
TANF funds.
Additionally, TANF and the welfare-to-work grant program require states to
expend some of their own funds in order to draw cash from federal grants. Though
TANF is a block grant, states must make progress toward meeting the program's
maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement to draw federal funds. The welfare-to-
work grant program is a matching grant program. CCDF also requires states to
expend their own funds in order to draw matching grants. In FY1997 and FY1998,
all states participated in the CCDF matching grant program.
States have "obligated" some of the grants that have yet to be spent. Generally,
a state obligation is a commitment to spend. The definition of obligation varies from
