Section 3150.21 - Departmental responsibility(a) The Department will determine at the end of each of calendar years 1978 and 1979, whether a county is entitled to a block grant. The amount of its entitlement will be determined through the following formula: (1) The amount of the county's reimbursement for services to children and youth will be compared to the amount received by that county for child welfare services and reimbursements made under 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 6301-6365 (relating to juvenile matters) in calendar year 1976.(2) If the amount of the county's reimbursement is greater than the amount received in 1976, this increased amount received will be compared with the amount expended by the county for youth development center and youth forestry camp commitments during those years.(3) If the amount expended for youth development centers and youth forestry camps by the county exceeds the increase in reimbursements received by the county, the county will be eligible for a block grant for new services for the amount of that difference.(b) The Department will make full payment of the block grants based on 1978 expenditure comparisons following the Auditor General's audit of expenditures for children and youth services for that year. Grants for 1979 must follow the same procedure. This section cited in 55 Pa. Code § 3150.3 (relating to applicability).
