This section authorizes yearly funding so States can provide financial assistance, as far as practicable under their conditions, to needy people who are blind. The money goes to States with approved aid-to-the-blind plans.
For each fiscal year, Congress authorizes enough money to let each State* provide financial assistance, as far as practicable under that State’s conditions, to needy individuals who are blind. The available money must be used to pay States that have submitted State plans for aid to the blind* and had those plans approved by the Secretary* of Health and Human Services.
For the purpose of enabling each State* to furnish financial assistance, as far as practicable under the conditions in such State, to needy individuals who are blind, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal year a sum sufficient to carry out the purposes of this subchapter. The sums made available under this section shall be used for making payments to States which have submitted, and had approved by the Secretary* of Health and Human Services, State plans for aid to the blind*.
