The Federal Funds layer was developed using the Consolidated Federal Funds Report (CFFR) obtained from Census. CFFR is a presentation of Federal Government expenditures or obligations in state, county, and subcounty areas of the United States. U.S. Outlying Areas and the District of Columbia are included. The data is obtained from information systems that exist in various Federal Government agencies. The CFFR covers Federal expenditures or obligations for the following categories: direct payments for retirement and disability, other direct payments, grants, procurement contracts, salaries and wages, direct loans, guaranteed or insured loans, and insurance. On the Federal Funds Layer we have broken the expenses into two parts. The first represents the direct expenditure of the Federal government which includes direct payments for retirement and disability, other direct payments, grants, procurement contracts, salaries and wages. The second includes obligations of the Federal Government in form of direct loans, guaranteed or insured loans, and insurance.
