Amount of Funds Budgeted and Sources of Funding by State for FY 2004

1. THE COMMONWEALTH FUND Rizzo, Fox, Trail, and Crystal, State Pharmacy Assistance Programs: A Chartbook—Updated and Revised, January 2007 Amount of Funds Budgeted and Sources of Funding by State for FY 2004 • Three SPAPs received the majority of their funding from general revenues, and seven programs received the majority of their funding from tobacco settlement revenues. • Four out of nine programs introduced in 2000–2003 were funded primarily through tobacco settlement funds. • Categorical funds accounted for most of the funding in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Kansas. • States with more than one program may have different budgetary changes for each program. For example, New Jersey’s PAAD program experienced steady growth whereas its Senior Gold program had lower than expected enrollment and therefore lower expenditures. In the past, there were higher appropriations for Senior Gold, which lapsed back to the State’s General Fund because expenditures were less than predicted.
