Summary

The Secretary must pay each State the federal share of the non‑construction costs the State spends under its approved State plan, using the State’s yearly allotment under section 15022. Payments are made periodically in advance based on the Secretary’s estimates, and the Secretary must adjust later to correct any past underpayments or overpayments. For the specific part listed in section 15024(c)(5)(B)(vi), the Secretary may either pay upfront or reimburse the State afterward, and may divide the payments into partial installments as the Secretary decides.
