Highlights
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act created nine block grant programs and provided for three optional transitional periods in which States would assume responsibility for the programs. GAO was asked to determine if those States which opted to begin administering the grants were treated differently from those which elected to let the Federal Government continue to manage the predecessor categorical programs.
