- Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law.

Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.

The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
- Municipality: includes cities and villages; it may be construed to include towns. See Wisconsin Statutes 990.01
