🔎About this data
Money the federal government paid to the state government and its local governments in FY2024 (Census 'intergovernmental revenue from the federal government'): Medicaid's federal share, highway, school and other grants. It does not include Social Security or other payments to people, or federal contracts; see 'All federal spending in state' for those.
