According to recent data, California receives a significant amount of federal funds. For the fiscal year 2025-26, federal funds are expected to make up over one-third of California's state budget, totaling more than $170 billion. This represents approximately 34.6% of the state's total budget. These funds support various services including Medi-Cal, education, and workforce development among others.

Here's a breakdown based on the available information:

Health and Human Services: Approximately $134.9 billion of the federal funds are allocated to support health and human services in California, with a significant portion, $112.1 billion, going towards Medi-Cal.

Other Public Services: Beyond health services, federal funds also support labor and workforce development ($8.6 billion), higher education ($7.3 billion), transportation ($6.7 billion), and other public services like environmental protection, the state court system, and corrections ($5.1 billion).

This data is sourced from information published by organizations like the California Budget & Policy Center and the Los Angeles Times, which discuss the dependency of California on federal funds for its state budget and public programs.
