Summary:

Programs run by the states provide a host of critical social services, from Food Stamps to Medicaid. GAO reported last year that many state systems that support federal human services programs were threatened by the Year 2000 computer problem. (See GAO/AIMD-99-28, Nov. 1998.) More recently, GAO testified before Congress that although federal agencies were working with their state partners to obtain readiness information and provide assistance, much work remained at the state level to help ensure that major services were not disrupted. (See GAO/T-AIMD-99-241, July 1999.) This testimony (1) highlights the reported Year 2000 readiness of 10 key state-run federal human services programs and (2) discusses federal efforts to assess states' readiness for these 10 programs.
