Federal Grant Funding to Alabama

 From the PEW website....where Federal Funding goes to in Alabama:

 

Federal grants are a key component of every state’s budget, funding a wide range of public services and infrastructure. Nationally, Medicaid dominates, accounting for 68.8% of federal grants to states in fiscal year 2024, followed by income security (11.3%), transportation (7.6%), and education (5%).

Alabama's federal funding is spread across six broad policy areas:

• Medicaid (58.8%)—Provides medical coverage for eligible low-income residents.
• Other health (7.1%)—Funding for public health initiatives beyond Medicaid.
• Income security (12.7%)—Programs that assist individuals and families in need, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the National School Lunch Program.
• Transportation (11.1%)—Investments in infrastructure and transit projects.
• Education (6.8%)—Support for K-12 schools, higher education, and related programs.
• Everything else (3.5%)—Funding for other areas, such as administration of justice, agriculture, energy, natural resources and environment, and community development.

Note: The data reflects enacted funding levels and the latest state allocations available. The Federal Funds Information for States (FFIS) grants database, the primary data source, tracks more than 90% of federal funds going to state and local governments. The policy areas shown generally align with budget functions in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s classification system, which groups federal spending by purpose. “Other health” includes all health funding other than Medicaid and the Medicare Part D “clawback,” a payment from states to reimburse the federal government for certain costs. “Income security” also includes social services funding. “Everything else” includes grant funding for administration of justice (a budget category that includes several programs); agriculture; community and regional development; criminal justice assistance (including funds to improve child abuse investigations and prosecutions); energy; general government, including mineral leasing; natural resources and environment; and training and employment. The FFIS database largely excludes funding to address the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, funding includes amounts made available outside of the standard appropriations process, including some funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.
