(1) All qualifying individuals may apply.—The State shall permit all qualifying individuals to apply for assistance during a calendar year.
(A) In general.—For each calendar year (beginning with 1998), from (and to the extent of) the amount of the allocation under subsection (c) for the State for the fiscal year ending in such calendar year, the State shall select qualifying individuals who apply for the assistance in the order in which they apply.
(B) Carryover.—For calendar years after 1998, the State shall give preference to individuals who were provided such assistance (or other assistance described in section 1902(a)(10)(E)) in the last month of the previous year and who continue to be (or become) qualifying individuals.
(3) Limit on number of individuals based on allocation.—The State shall limit the number of qualifying individuals selected with respect to assistance in a calendar year so that the aggregate amount of such assistance provided to such individuals in such year is estimated to be equal to (but not exceed) the State’s allocation under subsection (c) for the fiscal year ending in such calendar year.
(4) Receipt of assistance during duration of year.—If a qualifying individual is selected to receive assistance under this section for a month in a year, the individual is entitled to receive such assistance for the remainder of the year if the individual continues to be a qualifying individual. The fact that an individual is selected to receive assistance under this section at any time during a year does not entitle the individual to continued assistance for any succeeding year.
