Your <br />grant award amount is 78 8:15 for the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2007-2008, A Funding Authorization for this <br />grant award is forthcoming. In determining the amount of funding awarded, consideration was given to the <br />Work First adult caseload size and the average All-Family participation rate for January, February, and March <br />2007 for your county. The participation rates for April and May 2007 were excluded due to inconsistencies in <br />the calculations for these months. Based on criteria identified, the award amount reflects a cap at $100,000 <br />and a 25% reduction in the amount requested for the 2007-2008 SFY. This reduction is due to your average <br />all-family participation rate for January, February and March 2007 not meeting the 50% State participation <br />rate requirement. <br />All grant fund expenditures will be reimbursed through the 1571 Funding Authorization process.
