"Under CHIPRA 2009, one of the criteria for FY2009 allotments would be states’ projections as of February 2009. To
the extent those projections differ from the November 2008 ones, the actual allotments under CHIPRA 2009 may vary from
those in this table. The third column shows estimates of the full-year allotment based on the legislation. However, since
FY2009 CHIP appropriations have already been obligated to states for the first half of FY2009 under current law, Sec. 3(c) of
the legislation provides for an accounting adjustment: The full-year FY2009 allotment amounts available to states under
CHIPRA 2009 are to be reduced by amounts already obligated in the first half of FY2009 under current law."
