Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)
93.596
The Mandatory and Matching portion (or Child Care Entitlement or CCE) of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program consists of three formula grant programs and one program grant. The purpose of the three formula grants funds is to help certain families with low incomes access child care and to improve the quality of child care for all children. The Mandatory and Matching funds are made available in section 418 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 618) and are not subject to annual appropriations. The first formula grant program is formula grants to States and DC. These include Mandatory funds (which are 100% federal) and Matching funds (which require a State match and maintenance of effort). Allocations of the Mandatory Funds are based on a State's Federal share of the expenditures for the now-repealed AFDC-linked child care programs (AFDC/JOBS Child Care, Transitional Child Care, and At-Risk Child Care) in 1994 or 1995, or the average of 1992 through 1994, whichever was greater. A State is not required to expend any State funds in order to receive its share of the Mandatory Funds. Matching funds are available to states if three conditions are met by the end of the fiscal year in which the funds are awarded: (1) all Mandatory funds are obligated; (2) the state’s Maintenance-of-Effort funds are expended; and (3) the state provides its share of Matching funds at the FMAP rate. The Matching Funds are distributed based on the number of children under age 13 in a State compared with the national total of children under age 13. The second formula grant is Mandatory funds to territories, including American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. Territory Mandatory funds are allotted based on the number of children under age five living in territories and per capita income in the territories. Territory Mandatory funds are not subject to any matching requirements. Each year, Territories receive $75 million in Mandatory funding. Territory Mandatory funds must be obligated in the fiscal year that they are awarded and liquidated in the following year; however, in certain circumstances, unobligated funds may be reobligated in subsequent fiscal years. The third formula grant is Mandatory funds to Tribal Lead Agencies. Tribal Mandatory funds are not subject to any matching requirements. Each year, Tribal Lead Agencies receive $100 million in Tribal Mandatory funds. Mandatory funds to Tribes are allocated based on the number of children under the age of 13 in a Tribe’s service area. Lastly, in addition to the block grants to States, Territories and Tribes, a small program grant is used by the Office of Child Care to provide technical assistance to lead agencies on administering the program. A small portion of CCDF is also used for child care research, demonstration and evaluation activities.
