410-V - Allocation of Block Grant Funds.

§  410-v.  Allocation  of block grant funds.  1. The part of the block
  that is determined to be available  to  social  services  districts  for
  child  care  assistance  shall  be apportioned among the social services
  districts by the department according to an allocation plan developed by
  the department and  approved  by  the  director  of  the  budget.    The
  allocation  plan  shall  be based, at least in part, on historical costs
  and on the availability and cost  of,  and  the  need  for,  child  care
  assistance  in  each social services district.  Annual allocations shall
  be made on a federal fiscal year basis.
2. Reimbursement under the block grant to a social  services  district
  for  its  expenditures  for child care assistance shall be available for
  seventy-five percent of  the  district's  expenditures  for  child  care
  assistance  provided  to  those families in receipt of public assistance
  which are eligible for child care assistance under this  title  and  for
  one  hundred  percent of the social services district's expenditures for
  other eligible families;  provided,  however,  that  such  reimbursement
  shall  be  limited  to the social services district's annual state block
  grant allocation.
3. Any portion of a social services district's block grant  allocation
  for  a  particular  federal  fiscal  year  that  is  not claimed by such
  district during that federal fiscal year shall be added to  that  social
  services  district's  block grant allocation for the next federal fiscal
  year.
4.  Any claims for child care assistance made  by  a  social  services
  district for services that occurred from October first, nineteen hundred
  ninety-six  through  September thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-seven,
  other than claims made under title XX of  the  federal  social  security
  act, shall be counted against the social services district's first block
  grant allocation.
