Supplemental Funding for Ukraine:
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs (SFOPS)
March 8, 2022
The Administration's Request for Emergency Supplemental Funding
On March 2, 2022, the Biden Administration submitted to Congress a request for $5 billion in emergency
supplemental funding for Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS)
appropriations accounts to address the crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Such funds were
requested as part of a broader package that would provide a total of $10 billion for Ukraine and $22.5
billion for response activities related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. (The
remaining $5 billion for Ukraine would be for the Departments of Defense [$4.8 billion], Commerce [$21
million], Energy [$39 million], Justice [$59 million], and Treasury [$91 million].)
The $5 billion for SFOPS would be divided among four appropriations accounts to bolster U.S. security
and economic assistance to Ukraine as well as regional allies and partners and support lifesaving
humanitarian assistance, including emergency food assistance, and additional support for vulnerable
populations and communities, according to the request. Proposed funding includes
* $500 million in military assistance from the Foreign Military Financing account;
* $1.75 billion for economic assistance from the Economic Support Fund account, with
transfers authorized to the Transition Initiatives (TI), International Narcotics Control and
Law Enforcement (INCLE), and Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related
Programs (NADR) accounts, and to State Department and U.S. Agency for International
Development operational accounts to support diplomatic efforts, necessary evacuations of
personnel and other at risk persons, and consular activities; and
* $2.75 billion for humanitarian assistance, of which $2 billion would be for the
International Disaster Assistance account and $750 million would be for the Migration
and Refugee Assistance account.
The Administration also has proposed increased flexibility for SFOPS funding through changes to
existing authorities, new transfer authorities to move funds between SFOPS accounts, and the authority to
