Sec. 305.34  Payment of incentives.

    (a) Each State must report one-fourth of its estimated annual 
incentive payment on each of its four quarterly collections' reports for 
a fiscal year. When combined with the amounts claimed on each of the 
State's four quarterly expenditure reports, the portion of the annual 
estimated incentive payment as reported each quarter will be included in 
the calculation of the next quarterly grant awarded to the State under 
title IV-D of the Act.
    (b) Following the end of each fiscal year, HHS will calculate the 
State's annual incentive payment, using the actual collection and 
expenditure data and the performance data submitted by December 31st by 
the State and other States for that fiscal year. A positive or negative 
grant will then be awarded to the State under title IV-D of the Act to 
reconcile an actual annual incentive payment that has been calculated to 
be greater or lesser, respectively, than the annual incentive payment 
estimated prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.
    (c) Payment of incentives is contingent on a State's data being 
determined complete and reliable by Federal auditors.
