Conclusion

Although Medicaid continued to make up the largest share of grants to states in fiscal 2020, the infusion of pandemic-related aid dramatically increased the total flow of federal grant money to states and localities. Further, when examined as its own spending category, COVID-19 aid was at least the second-largest type of grant in every state and D.C. 

Federal aid to states is key to states’ ability to weather times of economic stress, such as the pandemic. And with additional relief packages passed in fiscal 2021—including the American Rescue Plan, which sent $350 million in aid to state, local, territorial, and tribal governments—COVID-19 funding is likely to significantly alter state and local revenue and spending for years to come.
