1340.11—Allocation of funds available.

(a) The Commissioner shall allocate the funds available for grants to States for each fiscal year among the States on the basis of the following formula:
(1) An amount of $25,000 or such other amount as the Commissioner may determine; plus
(2) An additional amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount made available for this purpose (reduced by the minimum amounts allocated to the States under paragraph (a)(1) of this section) as the number of children under the age of eighteen in each State bears to the total number of children under eighteen in all the States. Annual estimates of the number of children under the age of eighteen, provided by the Bureau of the Census of the Department of Commerce, are used in making this determination.
(b) If a State has not qualified for assistance under the Act and this subpart prior to a date designated by the Commissioner in each fiscal year, the amount previously allocated to the State shall be allocated among the eligible States.
