Summary

Decides how much money each State gets for a fiscal year, but only if Congress provides the funds. Each State gets whichever is larger: a set minimum or a calculated share. The minimum depends on how much money Congress puts into the program for that year: if the total is more than $100,000,000 a State gets $300,000; if the total is at least $50,000,000 but less than $100,000,000 a State gets $200,000; if the total is less than $50,000,000 a State gets $100,000. The calculated share is two parts added together. One part is 50% of the money times the State’s share of the U.S. population. The other part is 50% of the money times the State’s share of newly reported AIDS cases for the most recent year available. If any money is not paid to a State because the State failed to apply, did not file a proper application in time, or told the Secretary it will not spend the full amount, the Secretary must reassign those unused funds to other States receiving payments. The Secretary must use the same kind of formula to split those extra funds.
