The Veterans Home's relative population census shall be expressed as a percentage of the total population of the Veterans Home system.

(3) To determine the annual allocation in subsequent fiscal years, the amount of the previous fiscal years' revenue in the MWR Fund shall be utilized. This total amount shall be multiplied by the Veterans Home's relative population census number to calculate the annual allocation amount for each Veterans Home for the subsequent fiscal year.

(4) “Locally-generated moneys” means the profits derived from the operation of a canteen, base exchange, and any other activities unique to each Veterans Home, after all appropriate state costs, fees, and rent are deducted from the revenue received for those operations.

(2) The State Controller's Office shall make disbursements in three installments. The first installment shall be made before the beginning of the fiscal year and shall be 50 percent of the annual allocation. The second installment shall be made before the end of the calendar year and shall comprise 25 percent of the annual allocation. The third and final installment shall be made before the end of March in the affected fiscal year, and comprise 25 percent of the annual allocation.

(3) The Veterans Homes shall acknowledge receipt of each of the annual allocation installments via a memo signed by the Veterans Home's Administrator, on the Veterans Home's official letterhead, acknowledging the allocation installment was received and deposited into the Veterans Home's MWRO Fund.

The Headquarters Accounting Office will then notify the State Controller's Office of the modified annual allocation disbursement schedule and the affected installments.

(5) All unexpended funds in the Veterans Home's MWRO Fund shall be available for use in the following year by that Veterans Home.
