The Mississippi Department of Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services, in response to requirement of the Older American Act, as amended, and the Administration on Aging's Program Instruction, submits the Intrastate funding Formula for Fiscal Year 2007 - 2010. The Formula is designed to address the needs of Mississippi's older population at the local level in each planning and service area.
The guiding philosophy of the Intrastate Funding Formula is to provide equitable funding to ensure quality service to persons age 60 and above, including those in greatest economic or social need with particular attention to low-income minority individuals.
The Intrastate Funding Formula is intended to address the following goals:
1. To satisfy the requirements of the Older Americans Act and Title III regulations.
2. To be simple and easy to apply.
3. To ensure access to the system by eligible persons.
4. To objectively apply all requirements.
5. To correlate services with need.
6. To achieve balance between prevention and intervention in the allocation of resources.
The Older Americans Act defines greatest social need as the need cause by non economic factors, which include physical and mental disabilities, language barriers, cultural, social, or geographic isolation including those caused by racial or ethnic status with respect to an individual's ability to perform normal daily task or which threaten such individual's capacity to live independently. Since the definition is so broad and nonspecific, it is assumed that many individuals aged 60 and over, who do not fit into a specific category are in greatest social need. Therefore the number of persons age 60 and over is included as a factor.
They Older Americans Act defines greatest economic need as need resulting from an income level at or below poverty level established by the Office of Management and Budget. This definition is applied to the formula by including the number of people age 60 and over, with incomes at or below the poverty level as a factor.
The Older Americans Act provides that particular attention should be paid to low income minority individuals. Over 60% of those at or below the poverty level are minority individuals and approximately one third of the minority individuals are at or below the poverty level. Therefore, by including age 60 and over at or below the poverty level and age 60 and over minority individuals as factors, it is assumed that particular attention has been paid to low income minority individuals.
The Older Americans Act refers to geographic isolation as cause for need. It is assumed that persons who reside in rural area are more geographically isolated, relative to those who reside in urban areas. Therefore the number of person with a rural residence and 60 and over is included as a factor.
The Mississippi Intrastate Funding Formula, developed in consultation with the Area Agencies on Aging and the Planning and Development Districts, and published and disseminated through public hearing, is weighted as follows:
30 % Age 60 and over
25 % Age 60 and over Living Below the Poverty Level
30 % Age 60 and over Minority Living Below the Poverty Level
15 % Age 60 and over Living in Rural Areas.
The Intrastate Funding Formula for Mississippi follows. Table 1 describes the 1990 and 2000 Census comparison and difference by AAA. Table 2 shows the 1990 and 2000 Census comparison pro rate percentage difference by AAA; and Table 3 compares the pro rata percentage difference by AAA. The Intrastate Funding Formula narrative indicates the weighted variables and Chart 1 shows the percent of loss or gain by AAA.
Table 1 shows the numeric difference in the 1990 and 2000 Census.

DAAS INTRASTATE FUNDING FORMULA 2007
HOW THE FUNDING FORMULA IS CALCULATED:
VARIABLES
Weights are assigned to each variable to total 100%. The variables are:
(60+ Population, (60 + Below Poverty Level), (60 + Minority Below Poverty Level), and (60 + Rural)
WEIGHTS
60 + Population is assigned a 30% weight, thus .30
60 + Below Poverty is assigned a 25% weight, thus .25
60 + Minority Below Poverty is assigned a 30% weight, thus .30
60 + Rural is assigned a 15 % weight, thus .15
FORMULA
((60 + Pop %) X .30) + ((60 + Below Poverty %) X .25) + ((60+ Minority Below Poverty %) X .30) + ((60+ Rural %) X .15) = Funding Formula Percentage %
