As Congress deliberates over budget priorities, Alabama’s representatives in Washington have yet to take a unified stance. Republican Senators Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville have previously supported tax cuts for corporations, while the state’s House Republicans are considering their positions. The outcome of the negotiations could determine whether Alabama continues to receive the level of federal support that currently sustains critical public services.

Alabama relies heavily on federal funding, receiving $2.01 for every dollar in federal taxes paid per capita in 2022. The state ranked as the nation’s seventh-highest recipient of federal funds, and reductions in those allocations could significantly impact government services at both the state and local levels.

In 2024, Alabama received more than $14.5 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS... according to the Federal Funds Information for States database.

A few examples, provided by Alabama Arise, include:

$8.1 billion for health and human services, including Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (known as ALL Kids in Alabama), Head Start, childcare subsidies, child welfare and child protective services, HIV/AIDS prevention, opioid and substance use disorder treatment programs, and supportive services for older adults and people with disabilities.

$2.86 billion for nutrition and agriculture programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), school meal programs, emergency food assistance, cooperative extension services and agricultural research.

$1.4 billion for transportation, including funds for highways, railways, airports and bridges.

$1.35 billion for education, including Title I programs, Pell Grants, special education programs and 21st Century Community Learning Centers.

$142.1 million for environmental protection, including grants to support clean water, clean air, pesticide management and enforcement of hazardous waste disposal.

$92.4 million for the Tennessee Valley Authority.

$82 million for workforce development programs, including jobs programs for veterans, unemployment insurance and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs.

$23.8 million for Department of Justice programs, including sexual assault investigations, supports for crime victims and programs to prevent violence against women.
