Appropriations by Agency

Nearly nine out of ten state appropriated dollars are spent by the ten largest agencies. While the state has nearly 70 agencies that receive appropriated funds, few of the large agencies have consistently received $9 in every $10 appropriate dollars. The ten largest agencies received 89 percent of all appropriations in FY 2021, while the other 54 appropriated agencies received 11 percent. The two largest agencies, Common Education (State Department of Education) and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (Medicaid), together receive over half the appropriations. Higher Education is the only other agency to receive over ten percent of appropriations; its share has decreased over the last ten years.
