- Who applies
- The funds appropriated by P.L. 114-223 are available for states, territories, tribes or tribal organizations with active or local transmission of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the CDC. Active transmission refers to geographic areas for intervention and issuance of travel guidance in a setting where local Zika virus transmission is occurring. Local transmission of Zika virus means that mosquitoes in the area have been infected with Zika virus and can spread it to people. As of October 12, 2016, the CDC had reported that areas with active or local transmission of the Zika virus were American Samoa, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida. For the single source emergency Round One Funding Opportunity, these were the only territories and state eligible to receive funding as authorized under the legislation. Within these three territories and state, this single source emergency Round One Funding Opportunity was available to the territory and state health departments. As of the single source emergency Round Two Funding Opportunity close date (both deadlines), only one additional state was eligible, Texas. Within the state of Texas, only the state health department was eligible.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
