UCA 62A-3-108 establishes criteria and also governs the distribution of these funds.

Number of persons receiving Alternatives services

Regarding the negative trend greater than 5% in the number of persons receiving services from the Aging Alternatives program performance measures, the agency states, "The negative trend in reported number of persons receiving alternatives services is due to a recent discovery of duplication of participants by some AAAs. The state has since gone back and adjusted those numbers based on an unduplicated count."
