Summary

The federal government pays each State 90% of the costs the State spends in a fiscal year under its approved State plan. Payments can be made ahead of time or as reimbursements, in parts, and may be adjusted for earlier overpayments or underpayments. The Administrator sets the payment schedule and conditions. The State must cover the remaining 10%. That share can be cash or things of value, fairly valued, like buildings, equipment, or services.
