Subject to subsection (e), the Secretary shall make grants to eligible States, from allotments made under subsection (b), to enable the States to provide vocational rehabilitation services and information and referral services, consistent with section 375, to individuals with disabilities who satisfy the eligibility criteria specified in section 374. The Secretary shall make such a grant to the State board of each eligible State. For fiscal year 2016, the Secretary shall allot to each State an amount that bears the same relationship to the total funds made available under section 372 for that year as the amount the State received under section 110 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ( 29 U.S.C. 730 ), as in effect on the day before the effective date of this title, for fiscal year 2015 bears to the total amount all States received under that section 110 for fiscal year 2015.
Subject to subparagraph (B), for each of fiscal years 2017 through 2020, the Secretary shall allot to each State an amount that bears the same relationship to the total funds made available under section 372 for that year as the number of unemployed individuals with disabilities (as reported in the American Community Survey of the Bureau of the Census) in that State bears to the total number of such individuals (as so reported) in all States. No State shall receive an allotment under subparagraph
(A)for a fiscal year in an amount that is less than 90 percent of the amount of the allotment the State received under this subsection for the prior fiscal year. Each State board shall allocate the funds made available under subsection
(a)and not reserved under subsection (d), along with the contributions provided by the State under subsection (e), to local boards, according to criteria included in a State plan submitted and approved under section 212. The local board shall use the funds and contributions to award contracts, on a competitive basis, to eligible entities as described in section 241 to provide vocational rehabilitation services and information and referral services. Of the funds made available to a State under this section for a fiscal year, not more than 10 percent may be used for administrative costs by the State boards and local boards in the State. To be eligible to receive funds described in section 372(b) through a grant made under this section, the State shall agree that, with respect to the costs to be incurred by the State in providing the services for which the grant was awarded, the State will make available non-Federal contributions. The State shall make the contributions in an amount equal to not less than $27 for every $100 of funds described in section 372(b) and provided under the grant. The State may make the contributions directly or through donations from public or private entities.
