# §761.204. Methods of allocating funds to State Offices.


FO, CL, and OL loan funds are allocated to State Offices using one or more of the following allocation methods:

- (a) Formula allocation, if data, as specified in [§ 761.205](/cfr/7/761.205.md), is available to use the formula for the State.
- (b) Administrative allocation, if the Agency cannot adequately meet program objectives with a formula allocation. The National Office determines the amount of an administrative allocation on a case-by-case basis.
- (c) **Base allocation, to ensure funding for at least one loan in each State, District, or County Office.** In making a base allocation, the National Office may use criteria other than those used in the formula allocation, such as historical Agency funding information.
