                adjusted under subparagraph (C)) before the Secretary 
                may redistribute such amounts to any shortfall State 
                that is not an emergency shortfall State. In the case 
                of any amounts redistributed under this subclause to a 
                State that is not an emergency shortfall State, such 
                amounts shall be determined in accordance with clause 
                (i).
                    ``(II) Emergency shortfall state defined.--For 
                purposes of this clause, the term `emergency shortfall 
                State' means, with respect to a month beginning during 
                the period beginning October 1, 2017, and ending March 
                31, 2018, a shortfall State for which the Secretary 
                estimates, in accordance with subparagraph (A) (unless 
                otherwise specified in this subclause) and on a monthly 
                basis using the most recent data available to the 
                Secretary as of such month, that the projected 
                expenditures under the State child health plan and 
                under section 2105(g) (calculated as if the reference 
                under section 2105(g)(4)(A) to `2017' were a reference 
                to `2018' and insofar as the allotments are available 
                to the State under this subsection or subsection (e) or 
                (m)) for such month will exceed the sum of the amounts 
                described in clauses (i) through (iii) of subparagraph 
                (A) for such month, including after application of any 
                amount redistributed under paragraph (1) for a previous 
                month for fiscal year 2018 in accordance with this 
                clause, to such State. A shortfall State may be an 
                emergency shortfall State under the previous sentence 
                without regard to whether any amounts were 
                redistributed to such State under paragraph (1) for a 
                previous month in fiscal year 2018.
                    ``(III) Funds redistributed in the order in which 
                states realize funding shortfalls.--The Secretary shall 
                redistribute the amounts available for redistribution 
                under paragraph (1) to emergency shortfall States 
                described in subclause (II) in the order in which such 
                States realize monthly funding shortfalls under this 
                title for fiscal year 2018. The Secretary shall only 
                make redistributions under this clause to the extent 
                that such amounts are available for such 
                redistributions.
                    ``(IV) Proration rule.--If the amounts available 
                for redistribution under paragraph (1) for a month 
                during the period described in subclause (I) are less 
                than the total amounts of the estimated shortfalls 
                determined for the month for emergency shortfall States 
                described in subclause (II), the amount computed under 
                subclause (I) for each emergency shortfall State shall 
                be reduced proportionally.
                    ``(V) Unobligated redistributed funds.--The 
                Secretary shall withhold any funds redistributed under 
                paragraph (1) for fiscal year 2018 before January 1, 
                2018, but which have not been obligated for amounts 
                expended by a State as of that date, and shall 
                redistribute such funds in accordance with the 
                preceding subclauses of this clause.''.

        (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in the amendments made by 
    paragraph (1) shall be construed as authorizing the Secretary of 
    Health and Human Services to de-obligate any funds redistributed 
    under clause (ii) of section 2104(f)(2)(B) of the Social Security 
    Act (42 U.S.C. 1397dd(f)(2)(B)) that have been obligated for 
    amounts expended by an emergency shortfall State described in such 
    clause as of January 1, 2018.

Extension Act''.
