Subpart A--Rules Applicable to Federal Assistance Programs Included in a 
                        Treasury-State Agreement
 
Sec. 205.11  What requirements apply to funding techniques?

    (a) A State and a Federal Program Agency must minimize the time 
elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury 
and the State's payout of funds for Federal assistance program purposes, 
whether the transfer occurs before or after the payout of funds.
    (b) A State and a Federal Program Agency must limit the amount of 
funds transferred to the minimum required to meet a State's actual and 
immediate cash needs.
    (c) A State must not draw down funds from its account in the 
Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) or from a Federal account in the UTF in 
advance of actual immediate cash needs for any purpose including 
maintaining a compensating balance.
    (d) A Federal Program Agency must allow a State to submit requests 
for funds daily. This requirement should not be construed as a change to 
Federal Program Agency guidelines defining a properly completed request 
for funds.
    (e) In accordance with the electronic funds transfer provisions of 
the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 3332), a Federal 
Program Agency must use electronic funds transfer methods to transfer 
funds to States unless a waiver is available.
