(a) Purpose. This section describes the formula used to distribute funds to a AAA in accordance with the Older Americans Act, §305(a)(2)(C).

(b) AAA State General Revenue Base. A AAA is allocated a base amount of $60,000.

(c) AAA Administration Base. In accordance with the Older Americans Act, an administration pool comprised of 10 percent of the federal allocation of funds to AAAs is established. From this amount, a AAA is allocated no less than $85,000.

(2) a AAA with a population density factor greater than 50 percent of the statewide average of persons 60 years of age and older per square mile, but less than the statewide average, receives a rural allocation of $15,000; and

(3) a AAA with a population density factor of less than 50 percent of the statewide average of persons 60 years of age and older per square mile receives a rural allocation of $30,000.

(1) the total AAA region's population 60 years of age and older, weighted at 40 percent;

(2) the total AAA region's population 60 years of age and older who are minorities, weighted at 10 percent; and

(3) the total AAA region's population 60 years of age and older who are living on incomes below the poverty level, weighted at 50 percent.
