     Subject: bregon's Financial Management of Funds
              Under the Older Americans Act-I(HRD-80-97)

     In response to your June 11, 1979,_LQuest, we have
completed our work on Oregon's financial management of funds
under the Older Americans Act. We performed our review in
Oregon between October 1979 and April 1980. The review
covered State and area agency planning, procurement, monitor-
ing, and assessment practices and fiscal controls over the
use of Older Americans Act funds. The review was conducted
at the State's Office of Elderly Affairs and area aqency
offices in Hillsboro and Salem. We also visited three serv-
ice providers funded by each of these area agencies. p/jx49LJC2

     At the time of your request, we had underway a nationwide
review of the social service planning and delivery systems
under the Older Americans Act. These systems were being re-
viewed in response to a request from the Chairman, Subcommit-
tee on Aging, Senate Committee on Human Resources. Based on
this request, we established two reporting objectives. One
objective is to measure how well the Administration on Aging
has integrated services for the elderly at both the State
and local levels. The second objective deals with the finan-
cial management of the social service funds under the act.
In response to your request, we included Oregon under the
second reporting objective in order to determine its use of
Older Americans Act funds.

     On March 11, 1980, we briefed your staff on the results
of our work in Oregon. We agreed to report the results of
our work as it relates to the State agency's management of
the social service funds under the act. The enclosure to
this letter summarizes our major findings regarding State
management practices and the corrective actions in process
or planned by the State agency. The issues and weaknesses
