Funds for Title III programs are distributed based on a state's proportionate share of either the age 60 or older population or, in the case of caregiver support programs, the age 70 or older population. Each state then has its own formula for allocating OAA funding to area agencies on aging which enables the delivery of services to local areas. Title VII funds are allocated based on the state's proportion of residents age 60 and older. The State Ombudsman determines the use of the fiscal resources appropriated or otherwise available for the operation of the Office.
