How to read this
- Delaware state government payments (money paid out; source: Delaware Division of Accounting (state checkbook)), not federal obligations. They include federal grant money the state spends, so don't add them to federal totals.
- Delaware fiscal years run July to June (FY2027 started July 2026).
- Delaware's checkbook shows payroll and employee benefits as summary lines, without payee locations.
