FY2013 Funding CDC's funding level in the current fiscal year is $6 billion, $600 million below FY2012 and a 10 percent cut. This is due to the sequester cut of about $303 million and a cut in funding of $374 million from the Prevention and Public Health Fund. The total cut is somewhat lessened due to an $83 million transfer of other HHS funds to CDC from the Secretary – however, there is no guarantee that transfer will happen in future years. NACCHO provides complete analysis of FY2013 funding for CDC. Slides from CDC on the President's FY2014 Budget Request
