Tracking apportionments just got easier.
Apportionments are legally binding plans issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget that set the pace at which federal agencies may spend appropriated funds. OpenOMB's database makes apportionments easy to find and track.
Why are apportionments important?
Apportionments are how the president, acting through OMB, implements Congress's spending laws. Apportionments set the pace at which agencies may spend funds by specifying what money an agency may spend, when, and subject to what conditions. This is the second step in the life cycle of federal funds: Congress appropriates, OMB apportions, and agencies spend. Administrations of both parties have abused this authority to halt or cut off funding for enacted programs, making oversight of apportionments vital.
