The FY2027 President's Budget requests $500.0M for Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance (ERMA), within State's Bilateral Economic Assistance account. That is up 400% on the FY2026 figure of $100.0M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $0.1M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $100.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $500.0M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
State discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of State's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
the International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) account and $500 million for the President's Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance (ERMA) Fund (please refer to the IHA justification section for additional As part of the U.S. Government's overall overseas humanitarian assistance resources, the ERMA Fund, which will complement the IHA account, enables the President to respond to unexpected urgent migration and refugee crises when in the national interest. The $500 million Request may be used to meet the unexpected urgent migration and refugee needs, at the discretion of the President, including but not limited to emergency assistance including life-saving shelter, food, medical care, and clean drinking water.

Contracts funded by this line
5 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
