How to read this
- New Jersey state government payments (money paid out; source: New Jersey Office of Management and Budget (YourMoney agency expenditures)), not federal obligations. They include federal grant money the state spends, so don't add them to federal totals.
- New Jersey fiscal years run July to June (FY2026 started July 2025).
- New Jersey publishes yearly totals (no months or dates); payroll and many aid lines have no payee, and its totals include transfers between the state's own funds.
