'''Appropriations''' are budget authority to incur obligations and to make payments from the [[U.S. Treasury]] for specified purposes. An appropriation act is the most common means of providing appropriations.<ref>See also [[Backdoor spending authority]].</ref>
Appropriations do not represent cash actually set aside in the Treasury for purposes specified in the appropriation act; they represent amounts that agencies may obligate during the period of time specified in the respective appropriation acts.
