The allotment can be used for allowable expenditures listed on page 12 of FY 2023–24 Tuberculosis Control Local Assistance Funds Standards and Procedures Manual, available at Resources for Local Health Departments​. 

Reimbursement of expenditures is contingent upon compliance with these standards and procedures. To comply with federal restrictions on fund use, reimbursement of medication expenditures is limited to the amount of the state fund portion of the award.

Approximately 6% of Real-time Allotments are derived from funds intended to be used to enhance treatment adherence, prevent homelessness, and/or promote least restrictive alternatives that decrease or obviate the need for detention. Allotment recipients may use the funds awarded, as needed, for food, shelter, incentives and enablers (FSIE) for TB patients, contacts to TB patients and patients who are suspected of having TB.
