Massachusetts Tallies $3.7 Billion Federal Funding Losses on New Dashboard

A new state dashboard details sector losses, projecting steep risks to coverage and tax revenue.

Overview

  • State data attributes about $3.3 billion of the total to congressional changes and $399 million to executive actions under President Trump.
  • The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ is projected to cut $664 million from this year’s state tax collections and put up to 300,000 MassHealth enrollees and 108,500 SNAP recipients at risk.
  • Health and human services bears the largest hit at roughly $1.6 billion, with additional reductions across transportation ($361.2 million), energy and environment ($187.3 million), education ($141.6 million), and other sectors.
  • The updated database maps losses across fiscal years 2025 through 2028, including an estimated roughly $2 billion health care impact in FY2026 and further tax revenue declines projected for FY2027 and FY2028.
  • The administration reports more than $223 million has been reinstated, says legal challenges led by Attorney General Andrea Campbell are underway, and invites residents to report local impacts such as threatened broadband expansion and FEMA-funded bridge work.
