U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 621. Allotments to States
(a) Allotment formula
The sum appropriated pursuant to section 620 of this title for
each fiscal year shall be allotted by the Secretary for use by
cooperating State public welfare agencies which have plans
developed jointly by the State agency and the Secretary as follows:
He shall first allot $70,000 to each State, and shall then allot to
each State an amount which bears the same ratio to the remainder of
such sum as the product of (1) the population of the State under
the age of twenty-one and (2) the allotment percentage of the State
(as determined under this section) bears to the sum of the
corresponding products of all the States.
(b) Allotment percentage
The "allotment percentage" for any State shall be 100 per centum
less the State percentage; and the State percentage shall be the
percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the per
capita income of such State bears to the per capita income of the
United States; except that (1) the allotment percentage shall in no
case be less than 30 per centum or more than 70 per centum, and (2)
the allotment percentage shall be 70 per centum in the case of
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
(c) Promulgation of allotment percentage
The allotment percentage for each State shall be promulgated by
the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each
even-numbered year, on the basis of the average per capita income
of each State and of the United States for the three most recent
calendar years for which satisfactory data are available from the
Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for
each of the two fiscal years in the period beginning October 1 next
succeeding such promulgation.
(d) "United States" defined
For purposes of this section, the term "United States" means the
fifty States and the District of Columbia.
