state allotments

state allotments Sec. 110. (a) For each fiscal year, each State shall be entitled to an allotment of an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount authorized to be appropriated under subsection (b)(1) of section 100 for allotment under this section as the product of (1) the population of the State and (2) the square of its allotment percentage bears to the sum of the corresponding products for all the States. The allotment to any State (other than Guam. American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands) under the first sentence of this subsection for any fiscal year which is less than one-quarter of 1 per centum of the amount appropriated under subsection (b)(1) of section 100, or $2,000,000, whichever is greater, shall be increased to that amount, the total of the increases thereby required being derived by proportionately reducing the allotments to each of the remaining such States under the first sentence of this subsection, but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of any such remaining States from being thereby reduced to less than that amount. (b) If the payment to a State under section 111(a) for a fiscal year is less than the total payments such State received under section 2 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, such State shall be entitled to an additional payment (subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to other payments under this part) equal to the difference between such payment under section 111(a) and the amount so received by it. Payments attributable to the additional payment to a State under this subsection shall be made only from appropriations specifically made to carry out this subsection, and such additional appropriations are hereby authorized. (c) Whenever the Secretary determines, after reasonable opportunity for the submission to him of comments by the State agency administering or supervising the program established under this title, that any payment of an allotment to a State under section 111(a) for 87 Stat. 371any fiscal year will not be utilized by such State in carrying out the purposes of this title, he shall make such amount available for carrying out the purposes of this title to one or more other States to the extent he determines such other State will be able to use such additional amount during such year for carrying out such purposes. Any amount made available to a State for any fiscal year pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, for the purposes of this part, be regarded as an increase of such State’s allotment (as determined under the peceding provisions of this section) for such year.
