Administration for Community Living 

Implementation of Sequestration 

for State Formula Grant Programs Under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and 

Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act) and the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) 

•	 As required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as 

amended, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calculates that sequestration 

requires an annual reduction of 5.0 percent for non-exempt non-defense discretionary 

programs and 5.1 percent for non-exempt non-defense mandatory programs. 

•	 The law requires that every program, project and activity be cut by an equal percentage. 

•	 For state formula grant programs, preliminary estimates of FY 2013 allocations with the 5.0 

percent cut are calculated at the program level by taking the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution 

(CR) level (FY 2012 enacted plus 0.612 percent) and then reducing it by the amount required 

by sequestration. Final allocations will depend on Congressional appropriations, from which 

the calculated reductions will be subtracted. 

o	 State by state impacts can only be calculated by reducing the total resources available 

for a program and then running the statutory requirements for allotments. 

o	 The statutory factors used to determine the allocations – such as funding level, 

population, and minimum allotments – vary across programs and result in variations 

among states in the magnitude of the reductions. 

•	 The following information provides additional details on the key factors impacting state 

allocations for each program. 

DD ACT TITLE I, SUBTITLE B – STATE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 

COUNCILS: 

Key Elements 

•	 This funding is distributed based on the population in the State; the extent of need for 

services for individuals with developmental disabilities; and the financial need of the 

respective States. 

•	 If the total amount to make grant awards is greater than the amount of funds appropriated, 

the grant amount awarded to each State shall be proportionately reduced, after taking in 

consideration the minimum allotments. (sec 122(a)(3)(B)). 

•	 In determining grant award amounts, population data from the Census Bureau, poverty 

data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and disability statistics from the Social 

Security Administration are used. These data vary each year. 
DD ACT TITLE I, SUBTITLE C – PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY 

Key Elements 

•	 This funding is distributed based on the population in the State; the extent of need for 

services for individuals with developmental disabilities; and the financial need of the 

respective States. 

•	 If the total amount to make grant awards is greater than the amount of funds appropriated, 

the grant amount awarded to each State shall be proportionately reduced. (sec 142(a)(3)) 

•	 In determining grant award amounts, population data from the Census Bureau, poverty 

data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and disability statistics from the Social 

Security Administration are used. These data vary each year. 

HAVA Title II, Subtitle D, Part 5 – Protection and Advocacy 

Key Elements 

•	 This funding is distributed based on the population in the State. 

•	 If the total amount to make grant awards is greater than the amount of funds appropriated, 

the grant amount awarded to each State shall be proportionately reduced, after taking in 

consideration the minimum allotments. 

•	 In determining grant award amounts, population data from the Census Bureau are used. 

These data vary each year.
