Supplemental Funding for Ukraine:
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs (SFOPS)
Updated May 2, 2022
As of April 28, 2022, the Biden Administration had submitted to Congress two emergency supplemental
funding requests to address the crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The first, submitted on
March 2, 2022, included $5 billion for Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
(SFOPS) appropriations accounts, among other funding. On March 15, 2022, Congress enacted the
Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act (USAA, P.L. 117-103, Div. N), which provided $6.8 billion for
SFOPS accounts. The Administration's second supplemental funding request, submitted to Congress on
April 28, called for an additional $14.75 billion in SFOPS funding related to Ukraine. Reports suggest
Congress will pursue another emergency supplemental funding package, though it remains to be seen
what that package may include and whether domestic priorities affect its consideration.
March 2 Emergency Supplemental Funding Request and USAA
The Administration's March 2 emergency supplemental funding request for Ukraine included $5 billion
for SFOPS accounts as part of a broader package that would have provided a total of $10 billion for
Ukraine and $22.5 billion for response activities related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic.
According to the request, the $5 billion for SFOPS would have been 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. The Administration also proposed
increased flexibility for SFOPS funding through changes to existing authorities, new transfer authorities
to move funds between SFOPS accounts, and the authority to reprogram (i.e., to move funds within an
account) both FY2022 and prior-year funds. The Administration asserted in the request that these changes
would afford it maximum flexibility in supporting Ukraine, our European allies and partners, and other
emergent global needs.
Congress enacted the USAA on March 15, 2022. The measure included $6.8 billion for SFOPS
appropriations accounts (Table 1), out of a total of $13.6 billion, as well as new authorities (Table 2).
