State Matches by Fiscal Year

Excel files report the amount of state matching funds that were paid in a given fiscal year.  These matches are based on the prior year surcharges committed.  When using any file with “estimated” in its title, know that these are simply estimates, subject to change, and, therefore, municipalities should estimate the match conservatively.
