Section R510-100-6 - The Alternatives Program(1) Each local area agency's allocation for the Alternatives Program is the sum of the base allocation plus the square miles allocation plus the population allocation. (a) Base allocation shall be calculated by dividing the base funding by the number of local area agencies in the state.(b) Square miles allocation shall be calculated by multiplying the local area agency's weighted average percentage of square mileage by the square miles funding. (i) The local area agency's weighted average percentage of square mileage shall be calculated by dividing the square mileage covered by the local area agency by the square mileage of the state.(ii) The square miles funding shall be calculated as the difference between the total allocation and the base funding multiplied by 7%.(c) The population allocation is the sum of each local area agency's categorical population allocation as described in Subsection R510-100-6(2).(2) The local area agency's categorical population allocation shall be calculated by multiplying the local area agency's weighted average percentage of categorical populations by the categorical population allocation.(a) The local area agency's weighted average percentage of categorical populations consist of the following category calculations: (i) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category I is the total population of low-income individuals at least 60 years of age and 74 years of age or younger residing in the area covered by the local area agency divided by the total population of low-income individuals at least 60 years of age and 74 years of age or younger who are state residents;(ii) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category II is the total population of low-income individuals at least 75 years of age and 84 years of age or younger residing in the area covered by the local area agency divided by the total population of low-income individuals at least 75 years of age and 84 years of age or younger who are state residents; (iii) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category III is the total population of low-income individuals 85 years of age or older residing in the area covered by the local area agency divided by the total population of low-income individuals 85 years of age or older who are state residents;(iv) the weighted average percentage for minority is the total population of minority individuals residing in the area covered by the local area agency divided by the total population of minority individuals who are state residents; and(v) the weighted average percentage for disabilities is the total population of individuals with disabilities residing in the area covered by the local area agency divided by the total population of individuals with disability who are state residents.(b) The categorical population allocation is calculated by multiplying the state's weighted average percentage of categorical populations by the population funding as described in Subsection R510-100-6(3).(c) The state's weighted average percentage of categorical populations consist of the following category calculations: (i) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category I is the total population of low-income individuals at least 60 years of age and 74 years of age or younger residing in the state divided by the total population of the state;(ii) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category II is the total population of low-income individuals at least 75 years of age and 84 years of age or younger residing in the state divided by the total population of the state;(iii) the weighted average percentage for Low Income Category III is the total population of low-income individuals 85 years of age or older residing in the state divided by the total population of the state;(iv) the weighted average percentage for minority is the total population of minority individuals residing in the state divided by the total population of the state; and(v) the weighted average percentage for disabilities is the total population of individuals with disabilities residing in the state divided by the total population of the state.(3) The population funding is the difference between the total allocation and the base funding multiplied by 93%.Utah Admin.
