§702 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary keeps part of the yearly money and uses it for training, research, and special projects before giving the rest to the States. From the funds up to $600,000,000, the Secretary must hold back 15 percent for training and research. Training money goes to public or nonprofit colleges to train health workers for mothers and children. Research money goes to colleges and nonprofit agencies for maternal and child health and services for children with special needs. The Secretary can only make contracts if Congress has provided money for them that year. No grant or contract money can be paid unless the applicant files and gets an approved application with promises to use the money only as approved and to keep proper financial records. If the yearly funds are more than $600,000,000, the Secretary keeps 12¾ percent of the excess for certain projects, and any remaining excess after that is handled like the 15 percent holdback and then shared with States. The Secretary must favor projects in areas with high infant death rates. Money to build or expand maternal and child health centers must be matched with at least an equal amount of non‑Federal funds. States that apply get allotments from the remaining funds (from the pool up to $600,000,000) based partly on each State’s 1981 consolidated health program share and partly on its share of low‑income children. Each State gets what it received in 1983, plus its share of any increase above the 1983 total based on its proportion of low‑income children. If some States do not qualify, decline, or lose money to offsets, the unused funds are divided among the remaining States in proportion to their allotments.

(a)(1)Of the amounts appropriated under section 701(a) of this title for a fiscal year that are not in excess of $600,000,000, the Secretary shall retain an amount equal to 15 percent for the purpose of carrying out activities described in section 701(a)(2) of this title. The authority of the Secretary to enter into any contracts under this subchapter is effective for any fiscal year only to such extent or in such amounts as are provided in appropriations Acts.

(2)For purposes of paragraph (1)—

(A)amounts retained by the Secretary for training shall be used to make grants to public or nonprofit private institutions of higher learning for training personnel for health care and related services for mothers and children; and

(B)amounts retained by the Secretary for research shall be used to make grants to, contracts with, or jointly financed cooperative agreements with, public or nonprofit institutions of higher learning and public or nonprofit private agencies and organizations engaged in research or in maternal and child health or programs for children with special health care needs for research projects relating to maternal and child health services or services for children with special health care needs which show promise of substantial contribution to the advancement thereof.

(3)No funds may be made available by the Secretary under this subsection or subsection (b) unless an application therefor has been submitted to, and approved by, the Secretary. Such application shall be in such form, be submitted in such manner, and contain and be accompanied by such information as the Secretary may specify. No such application may be approved unless it contains assurances that the applicant will use the funds provided only for the purposes specified in the approved application and will establish such fiscal control and fund accounting procedures as may be necessary to assure proper disbursement and accounting of Federal funds paid to the applicant under this subchapter.

(b)(1)(A)Of the amounts appropriated under section 701(a) of this title for a fiscal year in excess of $600,000,000 the Secretary shall retain an amount equal to 12¾ percent thereof for the projects described in subparagraphs (A) through (F) of section 701(a)(3) of this title.

(B)Any amount appropriated under section 701(a) of this title for a fiscal year in excess of $600,000,000 that remains after the Secretary has retained the applicable amount (if any) under subparagraph (A) shall be retained by the Secretary in accordance with subsection (a) and allocated to the States in accordance with subsection (c).

(2)(A)Of the amounts retained for the purpose of carrying out activities described in section 701(a)(3)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of this title, the Secretary shall provide preference to qualified applicants which demonstrate that the activities to be carried out with such amounts shall be in areas with a high infant mortality rate (relative to the average infant mortality rate in the United States or in the State in which the area is located).

(B)In carrying out activities described in section 701(a)(3)(D) of this title, the Secretary shall not provide for developing or expanding a maternal and child health center unless the Secretary has received satisfactory assurances that there will be applied, towards the costs of such development or expansion, non-Federal funds in an amount at least equal to the amount of funds provided under this subchapter toward such development or expansion.

(c)From the remaining amounts appropriated under section 701(a) of this title for any fiscal year that are not in excess of $600,000,000, the Secretary shall allot to each State which has transmitted an application for the fiscal year under section 705(a) of this title, an amount determined as follows:

(1)The Secretary shall determine, for each State—

(A)(i)the amount provided or allotted by the Secretary to the State and to entities in the State under the provisions of the consolidated health programs (as defined in section 701(b)(1) of this title), other than for any of the projects or programs described in subsection (a), from appropriations for fiscal year 1981,

(ii)the proportion that such amount for that State bears to the total of such amounts for all the States, and

(B)(i)the number of low income children in the State, and

(ii)the proportion that such number of children for that State bears to the total of such numbers of children for all the States.

(2)Each such State shall be allotted for each fiscal year an amount equal to the sum of—

(A)the amount of the allotment to the State under this subsection in fiscal year 1983, and

(B)the State’s proportion (determined under paragraph (1)(B)(ii)) of the amount by which the allotment available under this subsection for all the States for that fiscal year exceeds the amount that was available under this subsection for allotment for all the States for fiscal year 1983.

(d)(1)To the extent that all the funds appropriated under this subchapter for a fiscal year are not otherwise allotted to States either because all the States have not qualified for such allotments under section 705(a) of this title for the fiscal year or because some States have indicated in their descriptions of activities under section 705(a) of this title that they do not intend to use the full amount of such allotments, such excess shall be allotted among the remaining States in proportion to the amount otherwise allotted to such States for the fiscal year without regard to this paragraph.

(2)To the extent that all the funds appropriated under this subchapter for a fiscal year are not otherwise allotted to States because some State allotments are offset under section 706(b)(2) of this title, such excess shall be allotted among the remaining States in proportion to the amount otherwise allotted to such States for the fiscal year without regard to this paragraph.
