Sec. 624. Reallotment


(a) In general

    Subject to subsection (b) of this section, the amount of any 
allotment to a State under section 621 of this title for any fiscal year 
which the State certifies to the Secretary will not be required for 
carrying out the State plan developed as provided in section 622 of this 
title shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such 
dates as the Secretary may fix, to other States which the Secretary 
determines (1) have need in carrying out their State plans so developed 
for sums in excess of those previously allotted to them under section 
621 of this title and (2) will be able to use such excess amounts during 
such fiscal year. Such reallotments shall be made on the basis of the 
State plans so developed, after taking into consideration the population 
under the age of twenty-one, and the per capita income of each such 
State as compared with the population under the age of twenty-one, and 
the per capita income of all such States with respect to which such a 
determination by the Secretary has been made. Any amount so reallotted 
to a State shall be deemed part of its allotment under section 621 of 
this title.

(b) Exception relating to foster child protections

    The Secretary shall not reallot under subsection (a) of this section 
any amount that is withheld or recovered from a State due to the failure 
of the State to meet the requirements of section 622(b)(10) of this 
title.
