Once DSHS receives the expenditure statements, how will it apportion the available dollars among the political subdivisions?
DSHS adds up eligible expenditures from all statements received to obtain a statewide total. Then DSHS divides that total into the individual statement amount submitted by each political subdivision. This will determine the percentage that the political subdivision will receive out of the available tobacco settlement proceeds for that year. For example, if the total eligible expense submitted by all political subdivisions in the state amount to $1 billion and county X submits $10 million in expenses, then the percentage for county X would be 1%. If $50 million were available for distribution, county X would receive a payment for $500,000.
