Sec. 247.24  Recovery and redistribution of caseload and administrative 

funds.



    (a) May FNS recover and redistribute caseload and administrative 

funds assigned to a State agency? Yes. FNS may recover and redistribute 

caseload and administrative funds assigned to a State agency during the 

fiscal year. FNS will redistribute these resources to other State 

agencies in accordance with the provisions of Sec. Sec. 247.21(a) and 

247.22(b). In reassigning caseload, FNS will use the most up-to-date 

data on participation and the extent to which caseload is being 

utilized, as well as other information provided by State agencies. In 

accordance with Sec. 247.21(a)(2), in instances in which FNS recovers 

caseload slots, the State agency must use 95 percent of its original 

caseload allocation to be eligible for

additional caseload. However, the State agency must not exceed its 

reduced caseload allocation on an average monthly basis.

    (b) Is there a limit on the amount of caseload slots or 

administrative funds that FNS may recover? Yes. FNS will not 

unilaterally recover caseload that would result in the recovery of more 

than 50 percent of the State's administrative funds. However, in 

instances in which the State agency requests that FNS recover any 

portion of its assigned caseload, the 50-percent limitation will not 

apply.
