When a Hamiltonian system is subject to constraints which depend explicitly on time, difficulties can arise in attempting to reduce the system to its physical phase space. Specifically, it is nontrivial to restrict the system in such a way that one can find a Hamiltonian time-evolution equation involving the Dirac bracket. Using a geometrical formulation, we derive an explicit condition which is both necessary and sufficient for this to be possible, and we give a formula defining the resulting Hamiltonian function. Some previous results are recovered as special cases.
