Summary

Even if other laws say different, any federal ownership share in land or buildings bought with grants under title III of the Social Security Act or the Wagner-Peyser Act becomes the State’s share when the State used the grant to buy it. The part of the property that came from federal money must be used for programs allowed by this law, title III, or the Wagner-Peyser Act. If the State sells or otherwise disposes of the property, it must follow rules the Secretary sets, and the federal portion of the sale money must be used for those same programs. A State may not use money from this law, title III, or the Wagner-Peyser Act to pay off the purchase costs of real property bought on or after February 15, 2007.
