Abstract: According to the Annual Reporting requirements for SSBG, originally described in the Federal Register, Volume 58, Number 218, on Monday, November 15 1993, States are required to report their annual SSBG expenditures on a standard post-expenditure report. Approval is being sought for a revised version of this post-expenditure report form that will eliminate confusion and reporting inconsistencies that have resulted from the current form. Data collected are analyzed and published in an annual report on SSBG expenditures and recipients produced by the Office of Community Services.
