Title IX, SEC. 9014. DETERMINATION OF NUMBER OF AFDC AND SSI RECIPIENTS. 
      (a) Baseline. For purposes of section 9012 and section 9013, the number 
    of AFDC recipients and SSI recipients for a State for fiscal year 1993 
    shall be determined based on actual reports submitted by the State to the 
    Secretary. In the case of individuals who were not recipients for the 
    entire fiscal year, the number shall take into account only the portion of 
    the year in which they were such recipients. The Secretary may audit such 
    reports. 

      (b) Subsequent Years. 

        (1) Payments. For purposes of section 9011(b), the number of AFDC and 
      SSI recipients enrolled in regional alliance health plans for a regional 
      alliance shall be determined on a monthly basis based on actual 
      enrollment. 

        (2) Computation of regional adjustment factors and blended plan payment 
      rates. For purposes of computing regional alliance adjustment factors 
      under section 9015 and the AFDC and SSI proportions under section 6202, 
      the number of AFDC and SSI recipients for a regional alliance in a State 
      for a year (beginning with 1997) shall be determined by the State before 
      the date the State is required to compute AFDC and SSI proportions under 
      section 6202 based on the best available estimate of such proportion in 
      the previous year.
