Management Review of Title XX County Administered Social Services.

摘要

This study examines State supervision of county administered social services which are funded by Title XX of the Social Security Act and State and/or county matching funds. Social services provide noncash assistance through a variety of services administered by the State and counties; at the local level, the services are usually provided by county social workers. In recent years, the State contribution to the social services program has increased substantially. During the same period, a number of studies have indicated problems in State supervision of social services, and questions have arisen as to whether the services delivered are effective in reducing need. These factors led Department of Finance budget staff to request a management review of social services.
