SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Section 122(a)(2) of the Act requires that adjustments in the amounts of State allotments shall be made not more often than annually and that States must be notified no less than six  months before the beginning of the fiscal year in which such adjustment is to take effect.  In relation to the State Developmental Disabilities Council allotments, the descriptions of service needs were reviewed in the State plans and are consistent with the results obtained from the data elements and projected formula amounts for each State (Section 122(a)(5)).

ADD has updated the following data elements for issuance of FY 2008 allotments for both of the Developmental Disabilities formula grant programs.
  1. The number of beneficiaries in each State and Territory under the Childhood Disabilities Beneficiary Program are from Table 5.J10 of the, "Annual Statistical Supplement, 2006, to the Social Security Bulletin," issued by the Social Security Administration;
  2. State data on Average Per Capita Income are from Table B - Per Capita Personal Income, 2003-2005 of the "Survey of Current Business," September 2006, issued by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce.  The most recent comparable data for the Territories were obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, September 2006; and
  3. State data on Total Population is based on “State Population Estimates: July 1, 2006” issued December 2006 by the U.S. Census Bureau.  The State working population (ages 18-64) is based on the "Estimate of Resident Population of the U.S. by Selected Age Groups and Sex, July 1, 2005," issued March 2006 by the U.S. Census Bureau.  Total population estimates for the Territories are based on “Global Population Profile: 2002” data, issued March 2004 by the U.S. Census Bureau.  The Territories working population is based on “Population and Housing Profile:  2000,” issued by the U.S. Census Bureau from Census 2000 data.
