Summary

States must prepare and send a three-year plan to the Commissioner to be eligible for grants tied to sections 12337, 12338, or 12339 for any fiscal year. The plan must include the assurances those sections require and a description of the State’s multi-year program development and how it will carry the program out. A State may update the plan each year. A State can apply under one of three choices: 12337 alone, 12337 and 12338 together, or 12339 alone. For each choice, the plan must follow only the rules for that section. The Commissioner will approve plans under 12337 and 12338 if they meet the rules and must give the State reasonable notice and a chance to fix problems before finally disapproving, changing the plan, or declaring the State ineligible.
