         Before Gbtober 1, 1975, social services costfi were
incurred under titles I, IV, VI. le XIVr and IVX of the Social
Security Act, acd since then, these costs have been incurred
under title XX of the act which established a new social
services program. The effect of proposed legislatic© is to
settle all claims for social services costs incurred by States
before October 1, 1975, whether or not the claims are in
dispute. These claims are comprised of 81 disputed claims by 28
States totaling about $3.4 billion and all undisputed claims
paid to States before October 1. 1975. Although the legislation
would settle cliims for costs incurred before October 1. 1975.
there would remaiu outstanding 60 disputed claims by 24 States
totaling about $391 million for costq incurred after that date.
The Dpartment of Health, Education, and Welfare (BEV)
neqotiated settlements with 28 States which had disputed claims.
The following vas noted about the proposed settlemexts: the
disputed claims covered will be settled witiout regard to their
validity; about $543 million could probably be obtained to
settle the unpaid disputed claims; it &ill result in States
receiving from 23% to 58% of their unpaid disputed claims; the
states would be paid or would keep from 50% to 100% of their
total paid and unpaid disputed claims; the total benefit to each
State dep3nds largely on whether its disputed claims are paid or
unpaid; and if HEV applied its formula to both paid and unpaid
claims, she 28 States would repay S85.7 million instead of BEV
paying the States $532 million. (Author/BTU)
