§ 7515. Allotment and delivery of commodities
(a) Mandatory allotments
In each fiscal year, the Secretary shall allot—
(1) 60 percent of the total value of additional
commodities provided to States in a manner
such that the value of additional commodities
allocated to each State bears the same ratio
to 60 percent of the total value of additional
commodities as the number of persons in
households within the State having incomes
below the poverty line bears to the total num-
ber of persons in households within all States
having incomes below such poverty line, and
each State shall be entitled to receive such
value of additional commodities; and
(2) 40 percent of the total value of additional
commodities provided to States in a manner
such that the value of additional commodities
allocated to each State bears the same ratio
to 40 percent of the total value of additional
commodities as the average monthly number
of unemployed persons within the State bears
to the average monthly number of unemployed
persons within all States during the same fis-
cal year, and each State shall be entitled to
receive such value of additional commodities.
(b) Reallocation
The Secretary shall notify each State of the
amount of the additional commodities that such
State is allotted to receive under subsection (a),
and each State shall promptly notify the Sec-
retary if such State determines that it will not
accept any or all of the commodities made
available under such allocation. On such a noti-
fication by a State, the Secretary shall reallo-
cate and distribute the amount the State was al-
located to receive under the formula prescribed
in subsection (a) but declined to accept. The
Secretary shall further establish procedures to
permit States to decline to receive portions of
such allocation during each fiscal year as the
State determines is appropriate and the Sec-
retary shall reallocate and distribute such allo-
cation. In the event of any drought, flood, hurri-
cane, or other natural disaster affecting sub-
stantial numbers of persons in a State, county
or parish, the Secretary may request that States
unaffected by such a disaster consider assisting
affected States by allowing the Secretary to re-
allocate commodities to which each such unaf-
fected State is entitled to States containing
areas adversely affected by the disaster.
(c) Administration
(1) In general
Commodities made available for each fiscal
year under this section shall be delivered at
reasonable intervals to States based on the
grants calculated under subsection (a), or re-
allocated under subsection (b), before Decem-
ber 31 of the following fiscal year.
(2) Entitlement
Each State shall be entitled to receive the
value of additional commodities determined
under subsection (a).
(d) Maintenance of effort
If a State uses its own funds to provide com-
modities or services to organizations receiving
funds or services under this section, such State
shall not diminish the level of support it pro-
vides to such organizations.

It is declared to be the policy of Congress, in order to promote the general welfare, to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s population by raising levels of nutrition among low-income households. Congress finds that the limited food purchasing power of low-income households contributes to hunger and malnutrition among members of such households. Congress further finds that increased utilization of food in establishing and maintaining adequate national levels of nutrition will promote the distribution in a beneficial manner of the Nation’s agricultural abundance and will strengthen the Nation’s agricultural economy, as well as result in more orderly marketing and distribution of foods. To alleviate such hunger and malnutrition, a supplemental nutrition assistance program is herein authorized which will permit low-income households to obtain a more nutritious diet through normal channels of trade by increasing food purchasing power for all eligible households who apply for participation.
