What is the formula for distribution of funding to the counties?
(1) For the purpose of this section, "county" means the legal subdivision of the state, regardless of any agreement with another county to provide developmental disabilities services jointly.
(2) The allocation of funds to counties is based on the following criteria:
(a) The distribution of funds provided by the legislature or other sources is based on a distribution formula which best meets the needs of the population to be served.
(b) The distribution formula takes into consideration the number of clients receiving county-funded services or child development services funded through maintenance of effort, and the number of DDA-eligible clients entering long-term services.
(3) A county may use 10% or less of the county's allocated funds for county administrative expenses. A county may use more than 10% for county administration with approval from the DDA assistant secretary.
