Sec. 303.52  Pass-through of incentives to political subdivisions.

    The State must calculate and promptly pay incentives to political 
subdivisions as follows:
    (a) The State IV-D agency must develop a standard methodology for 
passing through an appropriate share of its incentive payment to those 
political subdivisions of the State that participate in the costs of the 
program, taking into account the efficiency and effectiveness of the 
activities carried out under the State plan by those political 
subdivisions. In order to reward efficiency and effectiveness, the 
methodology also may provide for payment of incentives to other 
political subdivisions of the State that administer the program.
    (b) To ensure that the standard methodology developed by the State 
reflects local participation, the State IV-D agency must submit a draft 
methodology to participating political subdivisions for review and 
comment or use the rulemaking process available under State law to 
receive local input.
