When actual information was not available, s are given based on information provided by or the agreed with an made by another source. c According to a official, outlays for the Food Stamp Employment and Training have increased due to changes in the from the 2002 Farm Bill. The 2002 Farm Bill eliminates the $25 per month cap that the Department of Agriculture will reimburse the states for and other work costs incurred by participants.

12 i This is a partial outlay based on voluntary reporting by grantees. Full outlays are not available because, according to a official, grantees were not required to report outlays prior to fiscal year Fiscal year 2002 data are incomplete, however preliminary data on outlays from 46 of the 51 grantees totaled $2,215,498. j This is a partial outlay based on the amount grantees reported as non-assistance outlays in a category exclusively for. States reported an additional $356.5 million as outlays on assistance in a category that includes and supportive, however were unable to determine what percentage of the outlays on assistance were spent on. k indicate that federal data on nonemergency medical are not available. Estimate assumes that outlays are 0.73 percent of total outlays, based on previous research, including a survey of state Medicaid s. l According to a official, grantees report total outlays for and it is not possible to distinguish between federal and nonfederal funds. The official said 22 percent of total outlays would be a good of portion of fiscal year 2001 outlays. m Estimate of outlays is based on data from grantee s budget allocations, as suggested by an official. n This is a partial outlay for through the Community Development Block Grant. This figure includes outlays for the Entitlement, but excludes the State Administered. o This is a partial because, according to a official, data on outlays are not all grantees.

These include: the Department of Health and Human Services s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Child Care and Development Fund s; the Department of Labor s Native American Employment and Training, and Welfare-to-Work Grants for Federally Recognized Tribes s; and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Employment Assistance, Indian Social Service and Welfare Assistance, Adult Basic Education, and Higher Education s.

13 w According to a official, there are three distinct allocations of funds under the Capital Investment Grants: the New Starts allocation, which funds new rail projects; the fixed-guideway modernization allocation, which provides funding to maintain and update aging rail systems; and the bus allocation, which provides funding for the purchase of buses, bus-related equipment and paratransit vehicles, and for the construction of bus-related facilities. Because the Capital Investment Grants fund projects that provide for the general public, the -disadvantaged likely benefit from many projects funded through each of the three allocations, but information was not available to what portion of these funds for the general public benefit the disadvantaged. However, the official said that the bus allocation would likely provide the most direct benefit for the -disadvantaged and the obligation level could be d by totaling allocations to purchase vans, buses for the elderly or disabled, or paratransit vehicles and equipment. x The Nonurbanized Area Formula funds projects that provide for the general public, however grantees can use up to 10 percent of their funds to provide complementary ADA paratransit. Although grantees did not report obligations for complementary ADA paratransit, a official said that -disadvantaged populations might benefit from other provided through this grant, such as demand-responsive. However, the official could not identify the amount of spending that directly benefits the -disadvantaged. y According to a official, the Urbanized Area Formula funds projects that provide for the general public, however grantees can use up to 10 percent of their funds to provide complementary ADA paratransit. The figure listed in the table is the total obligations that grantees reported for providing complementary ADA paratransit. Although grantees may benefit from other provided through this grant, such as demand-responsive, the amount spent on complementary ADA paratransit is the only portion that could identify as directly benefiting the -disadvantaged.
