The federal budget provides about 30% of state revenue, making it the largest single source of funds for many states. FFIS help states to manage their federal funds by providing timely analysis of the impact that federal actions have on states.
The primary mission of FFIS is to track and report on the fiscal impact of federal budget and policy decisions on state budgets and programs. This information is maintained in a database of more than 200 federal grant-in-aid programs and is disseminated to subscribers through a regular series of reports and briefs.
FFIS produces semi-annual updates of more than 200 actual and projected federal grant-in-aid program allocations. The programs tracked by FFIS account for more than 95% of total federal grant-in-aid spending. Updates are produced after the president's budget is released in February and when Congress completes action on the federal budget.
Reports on the federal budget process that address current actions (e.g., the president's annual budget, congressional budget resolutions, appropriation bills, etc.), as well as ongoing budget concepts and trends.
Two annual publications that focus on the largest and most important federal grant-in-aid programs in the FFIS database. The first report reflects the estimated impact of the president's proposed budget on the largest grant programs. The second reflects the impact of the enacted budget on the programs. The VIP Series is released within days of presidential and congressional action.
Description of each of the grant programs included in the database and describes the formulas used to determine grant amounts and any matching requirements for states.
