disbursements

GET /v1/schedules/schedule_h4/

Schedule H4 filings describe disbursements for allocated federal/nonfederal activity. This data demonstrates how separate segregated funds, party committees and nonconnected committees that are active in both federal and nonfederal elections, and have established separate federal and nonfederal accounts, allocate their activity. These figures are reported on Form 3X.

The data are divided in two-year periods, called two_year_transaction_period, which are derived from the report_year submitted on Form 3X. If no value is supplied, the results will default to the most recent two-year period.
