If the board determines that insufficient funds will be available during the current biennial budget period to pay all approved and anticipated claims, the board may prioritize claims or prorate the amounts awarded based upon the anticipated available funds. The board's decision to prioritize claims or prorate the amounts awarded is not subject to administrative or judicial review, including review under ORS 243.966.
