The state treasurer shall distribute revenues in accordance with the adjusted allocations determined pursuant to this section.

1. In the case of overages, the department shall reduce the subsequent monthly allocation by the amount of the overage, if the remaining allocation is at least seventy-five per cent of the amount that would otherwise have been allocated to the recipient. If the entire amount of the required adjustment cannot be made in a single month, the department shall repeat the procedure in subsequent months until the overage is corrected.
