So
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
this
social
services
block
grant.
This
is
one
of
the
large
Federal
block
grants
that
the
department
administers,
because
we
have
both
committees
here
today
and
we
have
some
new
members.
We
thought
we'd
go
over
just
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
about
the
department
for
community-based
services.
The
Cabinet
for
Health
and
Family
Services
is
the
largest
cabinet
in
state
government,
and
the
department
for
community-based
services
is
the
largest
Department
in
the
cabinet.
F
We
are
responsible
for
delivering
services
to
families,
to
enhance
their
self-sufficiency
and
the
protection
and
permanency
for
children
and
vulnerable
adults
and
engaging
families
with
Community
Partners
dcbs
administers
programs
related
to
the
protection
of
children
and
vulnerable
adults.
We
administer
Public
Assistance
programs
and
we
regulate
child
care.
F
F
F
So,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
these
block
grants,
dcbs
administers
five
of
these
dcbs
presented
to
the
Senate
families
and
children
committee
on
this
first
one,
the
temporary
assistance
for
needy
families
just
about
a
month
ago.
So
some
of
this
will
be
a
little
bit
of
review
for
some
of
you.
We
administer
these
other
block
grants
listed
here
that
you'll
hear
more
about
through
the
year
and
years
to
come.
F
We
are
here
today
because,
in
order
to
receive
these
large
substantial
amounts
of
block
grant
funds
which
all
together
total
usually
about
300
million
dollars,
these
grants
are
varying
in
amounts,
but
that's
usually
about
the
total.
It
does
vary
some
sometimes
in
the
pandemic.
We
saw
that
a
couple
of
these
block
grants
received
additional
pandemic
funds,
but
it's
typically
pretty
much
about
300
million
dollars,
and
the
amounts
that
we've
received
every
year
are
pretty
typical
for
these.
So
back
to
State
plans
submittal.
F
In
order
to
receive
these
block
grant
funds,
the
state
does
have
to
submit
a
state
plan
detailing
how
we
plan
to
use
these
funds,
and
those
plans
have
to
be
consistent
with
national
goals
that
were
set
for
these
block
grants
and
I'll
get
into
those
goals
a
little
more
in
a
minute.
But
before
we
can
submit
our
state
plans
to
the
federal
government,
KRS
chapter
45
requires
us
to
submit
preliminary
plans
to
the
legislative
research
commission.
F
So
we
submit
a
preliminary
state
plan
that
has
been
submitted
to
the
lrc
and
then
typically,
the
estate
plan
is
placed
on
a
committee
agenda
and
the
committee
meeting
serves
as
a
public
hearing
on
the
preliminary
state
plan.
We
can
accept
comments
and
respond
to
those
formally
in
writing
a
little
bit
later
on
before
the
end
of
the
close
of
the
comment
period.
So
we're
in
this
state
plan
comment
period
right
now.
F
Also
KRS
chapter
45
requires
us
to
submit
half
your
block
Grant
status
reports,
so
you
will
see
those
those
will
come
to
the
lrc
twice
a
year,
just
with
the
status
of
budgeted
amounts
and
expenditures.
So
all
of
those
are
for
lawmaker
review
just
to
get
into
a
little
bit
of
the
history
and
purpose
of
this
block
grant.
Specifically
ssbg
was
created
by
Congress
in
the
1980s.
F
We
have
the
national
goals.
Just
like
we
presented
on
TANF.
There
were
five
National
goals
for
that
block
grant
as
well.
The
purpose
of
ssbg,
created
by
Congress,
was
to
combine
all
of
the
federal
assistance
for
social
services
into
one
single
Grant
to
enable
individuals
to
remain
self-sufficient
and
economically
independent.
Now
some
of
these
goals
may
sound
very
familiar
too.
The
first
two
have
a
lot
in
common
with
the
TANF
block,
grant
promoting
self-sufficiency
and
dependency
and
helping
individuals
to
do
that.
F
A
C
G
C
A
E
So
House
Bill
125
is
really
a
public
health
initiative.
It
is
just
directing
the
Department
of
Public
Health
to
work
with
the
Department
of
Aging
and
independent
living
to
incorporate
information
about
dementia
and
Alzheimer's
into
Publications
that
had
already
publishes
and
puts
out
into
Health
departments
and
adult
living
daycares
and
things
like
that.
It's
the
first
time
we
as
a
state
have
addressed
Alzheimer's
and
Dementia
through
the
public
health
lens.
G
Yeah
and
just
a
quick,
Point,
Mr
chair
the
reason
we're
excited
about
this
and
why
this
is
needed.
We
have
some
really
good
recent
data
from
the
2020
behavioral
risk
factor,
surveillance
survey
that
indicated
that
11.2
percent
of
kentuckians
age,
45
and
older
have
self-reported
experiencing
some
memory,
loss,
confusion
or
otherwise,
known
as
subjective
cognitive
decline
and,
what's
more
problematic
about
that
statistic,
is
that
84
of
those
individuals
are
also
managing
other
chronic
conditions
or
comorbidities
such
as
diabetes,
heart
disease,
Etc.
Second,.
A
Aye
on
a
vote
of
7-0,
the
motion
carries
with
favorable
expression.
Same
should
pass
on
the
senate
floor,
representative
Raymer,
congratulations
and
thank
you.
Both
we
have
a
motion
for
consent
and
a
second
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
oppose
no
motion
carries
bill
will
be
carried
on
the
consent
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much.
