Title 16 › Chapter 90— SECURE RURAL SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SELF-DETERMINATION › Subchapter I— SECURE PAYMENTS FOR STATES AND COUNTIES CONTAINING FEDERAL LAND › § 7111

Last updated Apr 5, 2026|Official source

Summary

For each fiscal year 2008–2015 and 2017–2026, the Secretary of Agriculture must work out each eligible State’s payment by adding up, for every eligible county in the State, the county’s adjusted share multiplied by the full funding amount for that year. For those same years, the Secretary of the Interior must figure county payments for any eligible county that got a 50-percent payment during the eligibility period by multiplying the county’s 50-percent adjusted share by the full funding amount. If a county already got, or will get, its share of a 25-percent payment for fiscal year 2014 that was sent to the State before April 16, 2015, the State payment is reduced by that 25-percent share. If a county already got a 50-percent payment for fiscal year 2014, its county payment is reduced by that 50-percent amount. The same reduction rules apply for fiscal year 2017 if the 25-percent payment was sent to the State before March 23, 2018, and the Secretary of the Treasury must make all fiscal year 2017 payments within 45 days after March 23, 2018. The same reduction rules also apply for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 if the 25-percent payment was sent to the State before December 18, 2025, and the Secretary of the Treasury must make all payments for 2024 and 2025 within 45 days after December 18, 2025.
