Frequently asked
About OAA Title III in Arizona.
What is the Older Americans Act, and how does Arizona fit in?
+
The Older Americans Act (OAA), passed in 1965, funds a national network of state and local agencies that deliver nutrition, supportive services, and caregiver support to adults aged 60 and older. Every state designates a State Unit on Aging that administers Title III dollars and reports annually to the federal Administration for Community Living (ACL). Arizona's reported figures appear here.
What's the difference between Title III-B, III-C, III-D, and III-E?
+
Title III splits federal aging funds into four buckets. III-B funds supportive services (transportation, homemaker, case management, legal, information & assistance, chore, adult day). III-C is nutrition: III-C1 covers congregate meals at senior centers, III-C2 covers home-delivered meals. III-D is evidence-based health-promotion programs. III-E is the National Family Caregiver Support Program for unpaid family caregivers.
How is "$46.7M in total spending" calculated?
+
It's the sum of expenditure across the 14 reported service lines for FY2024 (home-delivered meals, congregate meals, homemaker, personal care, case management, transportation, information & assistance, legal assistance, adult day, chore, assisted transportation, nutrition education, nutrition counseling, and other services). The methodology page has the exact formula and column references.
Why does Arizona's total include state and local dollars, not just federal?
+
OAA Title III is a federal–state–local partnership. The federal Title III obligation is the floor; states add appropriations and local agencies add program income, matching funds, and donations. The State Performance Report (SPR) captures all three streams — that's what the funding-mix bar shows above.
Does this include Older Americans Act Title VII (Ombudsman, Elder Abuse) or Title VI (Native American programs)?
+
No. This explorer is Title III only. Title VII (long-term-care ombudsman, elder abuse prevention) and Title VI (services for Native American elders) are separately funded and reported. The figures here exclude both.
Who reports these numbers, and how often are they updated?
+
Each State Unit on Aging files an annual State Performance Report with ACL. ACL publishes the data on its AGID Data Explorer (agid.acl.gov/data-explorer) once filings are reviewed. This site refreshes when ACL releases a new fiscal year — usually 12–14 months after the year ends.
