Summary

For fiscal years 2008 through 2015 and 2017 through 2026, the Secretary of Agriculture must figure each eligible State’s payment by adding up, for each eligible county in that State, the county’s adjusted share times the full funding amount for the year. For the same years, the Secretary of the Interior must figure each eligible county’s payment (for counties that got a 50-percent payment during the eligibility period) by multiplying that county’s 50-percent adjusted share by the full funding amount for the year. If a county already got a 25-percent State-distributed payment for the year, the State payment for that county is reduced by that amount. If a county already got a 50-percent county payment for the year, the county payment is reduced by that amount. This reduction rule applies to fiscal year 2014 (if the 25-percent payment was given before April 16, 2015), fiscal year 2017 (if the 25-percent payment was given before March 23, 2018), and fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (if the 25-percent payment was given before December 18, 2025). The Secretary of the Treasury must make all payments for 2017 within 45 days after March 23, 2018, and must make all payments for 2024 and 2025 within 45 days after December 18, 2025.
