## State Requirements Under the MCH Block Grant Program States prepare and transmit a standardized grant request based on the Block Grant Guidance, a comprehensive resource book of required application forms and submission guidelines.
There are major requirements in the application, including a periodic Statewide needs assessment, a plan for meeting the needs identified by that assessment, and other specific items on which States must report. The Title V Block Grant Program requires that every $4 of federal Title V money must be matched by at least $3 of State and local money.
This "match" results in the availability of more than 2 billion additional dollars for MCH programs annually at the State and local level. The program also requires that a minimum of 30% of federal Block Grant funds be used to support services for Children with Special Health Care Needs and that a minimum of 30% of federal funds be used to provide preventive and primary care services for children.
The States may spend no more than 10% of federal Title V funds on administrative costs.
State MCH programs, usually housed in each State's department of health, meet their Title V Block Grant responsibilities through a wide range of programs, with specific goals for: * Reducing morbidity and mortality by assuring pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents full access to quality, community-based preventive and primary care * Developing family-centered, coordinated, community-based systems of care * Participating in interagency coordination, especially with Medicaid; Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Foods program; Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA); and other children's health, education, and social services programs * Providing rehabilitative services to SSI recipients under age 16 who are not covered by Medicaid * Conducting comprehensive needs assessments every 5 years and preparing annual plans as part of a standardized application process * Submitting to MCHB State annual reports reviewing program developments, health status and service data, and progress in meeting State and national health objectives ## Help Us Improve Mass.
