in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress will fund each year whatever it takes for states to give financial help to needy elderly people. States get this money after submitting an old-age assistance plan. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must approve each state's plan first.

This section authorizes federal funding for state old-age assistance programs. To let each state — as far as that state's conditions make practical — give financial assistance to aged, needy people, Congress authorizes "a sum sufficient" (whatever amount is needed) to be appropriated for each fiscal year, to carry out this subchapter's purposes. That money is used to make payments to states that have submitted a plan for old-age assistance, and that plan must first be approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (called "the Secretary" in this section).
