PRESERVING FEDERAL BENEFITS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS:

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to ensure taxpayer resources are not used to incentivize or support illegal immigration.

The Order directs Federal departments and agencies to identify all federally funded programs currently providing financial benefits to illegal aliens and take corrective action.

It ensures that Federal funds to states and localities will not be used to support “sanctuary” policies or assist illegal immigration.

It mandates improvements in eligibility verification to prevent benefits from going to individuals unlawfully present in the United States.

President Trump is committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.

Federal Funds Drive One-Third of California’s State Budget

Almost 4 in 5 federal dollars that are projected to flow through California’s state budget in 2025-26 — $134.9 billion — support vital health and human services (HHS) for millions of Californians, including children, seniors, and families with low incomes.

The largest share of federal funding for HHS programs — $112.1 billion — is budgeted through the Department of Health Care Services for Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program). Medi-Cal provides health care services to more than 14 million Californians with low incomes, including children, older adults, and people with disabilities. More than half of Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal are Latinx.

The second-largest share of federal funding for HHS programs — $11.7 billion — goes to the Department of Social Services. These funds support child welfare services, foster care, the CalWORKs program, and other critical services that assist low-income and vulnerable Californians.

The remaining federal funds that are projected to flow through the state budget in 2025-26 — $35.6 billion — support a broad range of public services and systems. This includes:

$8.6 billion for labor and workforce development programs, primarily for unemployment insurance benefits for jobless Californians;

$7.9 billion for K-12 education;

$7.3 billion for higher education (the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California);

$6.7 billion for transportation, primarily to improve state and local transportation infrastructure; and

$5.1 billion for additional public services and systems, including environmental protection, the state court system, and state corrections.
