# §264.71. What determines the amount of the provisional payment of contingency funds that will be made to a State?


We will make a provisional payment to a State that meets the requirements of [§ 264.70](/cfr/45/264.70.md), within the following limits:

- (a) The amount that we will pay to a State in a fiscal year will not exceed an amount equal to 1/12 times 20 percent of that State's SFAG for that fiscal year, multiplied by the number of eligible months for which the State has requested contingency funds;
- (b) The total amount that we will pay to all States during a fiscal year will not exceed the amount appropriated for this purpose; and
- (c) We will pay contingency funds to States in the order in which we receive requests for such payments.
