Formula and Matching Requirements: The formula is prescribed by Statute and regulations — 7 C.F.R. 227. The statistical factors used in fund allocation are: 1. enrollment in public schools (source: Common Core of Data Survey, National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES); 2. enrollment in private schools (source: Educational Statistics, NCES); 3. enrollment in residential child care institutions (source: public, U.S. Department of Education, NCES, enrollment data; private, USDA annual report of meal service in schools, Food and Consumer Service.); 4. enrollment in nonresidential child care institutions (source: "Day Care Centers in the U.S.: A National Profile," Administration for Children, Youth, and Families). The statistical factor for eligibility does not apply to this program. Funds are apportioned based on the latest available enrollment data for schools and institutions in each State and territory multiplied by 50 cents. If funds appropriated are not sufficient to meet this formula, the amount granted to each State will be proportionately reduced. States may use up to 15 percent of their total grant for up to 50 percent of expenditures for administration.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance: Fiscal-year basis. Assistance is made available as required through the electronic transfer system.
