Summary

The Secretary will not give a grant unless the State agrees to put up non‑Federal money or goods equal to at least $1 for every $3 of Federal grant money. The State can provide cash or goods and services (given a fair value), but not indirect or overhead costs. Federal money or services largely paid for by the Federal Government cannot count. Only contributions above the State’s average for the two years before the first year it applies can be counted. Amounts the State spends under title XIX of the Social Security Act may be counted, if they meet these rules.
