Federal funding is a significant part of New York State’s Budget: In State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025, federal receipts totaled $96.7 billion, 38.8 percent of receipts in the State’s budget. Federal receipts grew after the onset of the Great Recession and sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in SFY 2021, the New York State Division of the Budget (DOB) reported that $53.5 billion in pandemic relief assistance was expected to flow through the New York State Financial Plan. 

According to DOB, the State expects to disburse the last significant portion of pandemic assistance in SFY 2026; as of the FY 2026 NYS Executive Budget Financial Plan, the State is expected to receive almost $93.1 billion in federal funding in SFY 2026.
