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.
