Do ABC codes and budget subactivity codes align?
Budget subactivity codes and ABC codes are not directly related. A common misconception is that certain ABC codes align to specific budget subactivity codes. In reality, budget subactivity codes are associated with Congressional budget appropriations as money is allocated to specific subactivity codes. ABC codes are selected by employees each pay period based on the work being completed, not where the funding is coming from, and are used to understand how work is completed at FWS. ABC codes are intentionally cross-functional and cross-program and are not the same as budget. All costs will be charged against the proper budget account regardless of what ABC code is chosen.
