3by county departments under s. 46.23, 51.42 or 51.437 to such county departments
4as provided under s. 46.40. County matching funds are required for the distributions
5under s. 46.40 (2). Each county's required match for a year equals 9.89% of the total

7the amount the county was required by s. 46.26 (2) (c), 1985 stats., to spend for

14equals the difference between the required and the actual amount of county
15matching funds.
