        determined by the Secretary of the Treasury based on 
        information provided by the government of the respective 
        possession.

        Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States 
        which does not have a mirror code tax system amounts estimated 
        by the Secretary of the Treasury as being equal to the 
        aggregate benefits (if any) that would have been provided to 
        residents of such possession by reason of the amendments made 
        by this section if a mirror code tax system had been in effect 
        in such possession. The preceding sentence shall not apply 
        unless the respective possession has a plan, which has been 
        approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, under which such 
        possession will promptly distribute such payments to its 
        residents.
            (3) Inclusion of administrative expenses.--The Secretary of 
        the Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States

                        in paragraph (1), by reason of the amendments 
                        made by this section, and
                            (ii) in the case of a possession described 
                        in paragraph (2), by reason of carrying out the 
                        plan described in such paragraph, or
                    (B) $500,000 ($10,000,000 in the case of Puerto 
                Rico).
        The amount described in subparagraph (A) shall be determined by 
        the Secretary of the Treasury based on information provided by 
        the government of the respective possession.
            (4) Coordination with credit allowed against united states 
        income taxes.--No credit shall be allowed against United States 
        income taxes under section 6428C of the Internal Revenue Code 
        of 1986 (as added by this section), nor shall any credit or 
        refund be made or allowed under subsection (g) of such section,

                made by this section, or
                    (B) who is eligible for a payment under a plan 
                described in paragraph (2).
            (5) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``mirror code tax system'' means, with 
        respect to any possession of the United States, the income tax 
        system of such possession if the income tax liability of the 
        residents of such possession under such system is determined by 
        reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if 
        such possession were the United States.
            (6) Treatment of payments.--For purposes of section 1324 of 
        title 31, United States Code, the payments under this 
        subsection shall be treated in the same manner as a refund due 
        from a credit provision referred to in subsection (b)(2) of

                contributed toward such premium during the individual's
