(a) Expenditures related to the distribution of food stamps to eligible persons shall be claimed for reimbursement in accordance with the instructions of the department and on schedules and formats prescribed by the department. Food stamp expenditures which are subject to Federal reimbursement shall be claimed in a manner that results in the greatest proportion of Federal participation or alternatively shall be claimed in a manner that does not increase the amount of State reimbursement for food stamps which would be available if Federal financial participation were also available.
(b) Expenditures made by social services districts for food stamps provided to eligible individuals shall be subject to reimbursement as follows. There shall be paid to each such district:
(1) the amount of Federal funds, if any, properly received or to be received on account of such expenditures;
(2) the balance of the food stamp expenditures, after deducting therefrom any Federal funds properly received or to be received on account thereof as follows:
(i) 100 percent of food stamp administrative costs based on an allocation of administrative costs attributable to both food stamps and home relief to permit maximum use of Federal funds; and
(ii) 50 percent of those administrative costs that may be allocated between aid to dependent children and food stamps if Federal law, Federal regulations, or cost allocation procedures set forth in this Title require such administrative costs to be allocated in a manner such that only those administrative costs that cannot be allocated to aid to dependent children are allocated to the food stamp program;
(3) the amount of the expenditures spent in relation to emergency food assistance provided to victims of disasters in accordance with instructions of the department, or directives of the State or Federal government not in conflict with instructions of the department;
(4) the full amount claimed as an incentive for retrievals resulting from claims for an intentional program violation (IPV) or an inadvertent household error (IHE) in accordance with instructions or directives of the department, provided that such amount has not been also deducted from any amount repaid or credited to any retrieval reported to the department and provided that the State receives Federal reimbursement or credit in an amount equal to or greater than the claimed amount; and
(5) any other amounts required or permitted by instructions or directives of the department to the extent permitted by State or Federal law.
