Summary

Grants are divided among the States using a formula the Secretary creates by rule. The formula must take into account each State’s population, climate, and any other factors the Secretary thinks are appropriate. No State may get more than 10 percent of the total amount given to all States in a year. Except for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands, each State with an approved State plan must get at least 0.5 percent of the total amount for that year.
