1. New welfare programs: The bills do not reflect funding for the $16 billion Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant, which replaced the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program because it was provided through last year's welfare reform law. Similarly, it does not reflect the mandatory $2.067 billion in child care funding which is in addition to the $1 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant.
2. Foster Care: The foster care program also includes over $1 billion in advance funding to cover state reimbursements for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994. It is an open-ended entitlement, and funding is based on the number of children expected to need assistance, which the Administration estimates to be going down.
3. Older Americans Programs: The difference in funding for support centers is partly because the House includes the in-home support services for frail elderly, which was funded at around $9 million, while the Senate keeps this program as a separate line-item. The community service employment program is part of the Department of Labor, but it is proposed to be transferred to the Administration on Aging.
4. Refugee and Entrant Assistance: The transitional cash and medical program is expected to still be able to cover eight months of reduced funding because of the lower number of refugees being admitted. The difference in proposed funding for social services between the House and Senate is partly because the House adds $14 million for those refugees who may lose other federal benefits as a result of the welfare reform law.
5. House and Senate assume an additional $25 million from vaccine excise taxes not reflected in the above figures.
6. Not funded during fiscal year 1997.
7. Set asides increase 8 percent.
8. Set asides increase 18 percent.
9. Includes operating funds for urbanized areas of less than 200,000 population and broadens definition of capital expenses to include preventive maintenance.
