state allotments

state allotments Sec. 120. (a) (1) From the sums available pursuant to section 100 (b)(2) for any fiscal year for grants to States to assist them in meeting the costs described in section 121, each State shall be entitled to an allotment of an amount bearing the same ratio to such sums as the population of the State bears to the population of all the States. The allotment to any State under the preceding sentence for any fiscal year which is less than $50,000 shall be increased to that amount, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, no State shall receive less than the amount necessary to cover up to 90 per centum of the cost of continuing projects assisted under section 4(a)(2)(A) of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, except that no such project may receive financial assistance under both the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and this Act for a total period of time in excess of three years. The total of the increase required by the preceding sentence shall be derived by proper-87 Stat. 373tionately reducing the allotments to each of the remaining States under the first sentence of this section, but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of any of such remaining States from thereby being reduced to less than $50,000. (b) Whenever the Secretary determines that any amount of an allotment to a State for any fiscal year will not be utilized by such State in carrying out the purposes of this section, he shall make such amount available for carrying out the purposes of this section to one or more other States which he determines will be able to use additional amounts 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 purposes of this part, be regarded as an increase of such State’s allotment (as determined under the preceding provisions of this section) for such year.
