The FY2022 State, Foreign Operations, and

Related Programs Budget Request



May   5, 2021

Overview

Each year, Congress typically considers 12 distinct appropriations measures to fund federal programs and
activities. One of these is the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS)
bill, which supports a range of U.S. activities around the world.
On April 9, 2021, the Biden Administration released a summary of its proposed FY2022 budget request
for discretionary programs. The request includes $63.50 billion for the State Department and other
international programs, which the Administration asserts would be a 12% increase from the FY2021-
enacted level. It is unclear whether this figure reflects all components of SFOPS funding, or how it was
calculated. The requested funding is about $7.3 billion (10%) below enacted FY2021 SFOPS
discretionary funding to date, including $10 billion in supplemental emergency funds enacted through the
American Recue Plan Act (ARPA) to help combat Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally. The
requested funding is about 34% higher than FY2021 base funding (excluding OCO and emergency funds
(see below) and higher than any SFOPS total funding level enacted in the past decade, with the exception
of FY2021, in current dollars (Figure 1).
The April 9 budget summary provided only top-line funding levels and select program highlights. This
Insight provides limited information and analysis based on the budget summary.
