34 U.S.C. § 11132 — Allocation of funds

(a)(1) Subject to paragraph (2) and this part’s regulations, funds must be allocated each year among the States according to their relative populations under age 18, using the Census Bureau’s most recent data.
(a)(2)(A) If the fiscal-year appropriation for this subchapter is less than $75,000,000, each State^* other than the territories listed in clause (ii) must receive at least $400,000. The United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands must each receive at least $75,000.
(a)(2)(B) If the appropriation is at least $75,000,000, each State other than those territories must receive at least $600,000, and each listed territory must receive at least $100,000.
(b) If allocated money remains unobligated at the fiscal year’s end, it must be reallocated fairly and consistently with this part’s purpose. Reallocated money is added to the money already allocated and available for the same period to the State and the listed territories.
(c) Under this part’s regulations, part of a State’s allocation may pay for developing its State plan, related pre-award work, and necessary effective and efficient administration. The State must designate at least one person to coordinate achieving and maintaining compliance with the core requirements^* and certify whether the State complies. No more than 10 percent of the State’s total yearly allocation may be used for these purposes. Any amount spent or obligated by the State, local governments, or their combinations under this subsection must be matched dollar for dollar with State or local money. The State must make needed planning and administration money available fairly to local governments and their combinations.
(d) Under this part’s regulations, no more than 5 percent of a State’s yearly allocation may support the advisory group established under section 11133(a)(3).
