SF-132 is the form used for which purpose?

• A. Apportionment Stocks
• B. Budget Execution
• C. Apportionment and Reapportionment
• D. Personnel Records

Answer: (C)

SF-132 is the form used to request and document apportionment and reapportionment of budget authority. The idea being tested is how agencies manage their funding within a fiscal year by distributing authority over time and adjusting that distribution when needs change. Apportionment breaks down the annual budget into time-phased allotments for different programs or components, ensuring funds are available when spent and that obligations stay within the approved appropriation. Reapportionment allows further changes to those allocations as execution unfolds, shifting funds between programs or periods while still respecting the total appropriation. SF-132 captures all the necessary details—who is requesting the action, the amounts, the time frames, and the purpose—so the responsible offices and the Treasury can authorize and monitor the use of funds. This makes it the appropriate instrument for controlling and adjusting budget authority rather than forms tied to other functions like personnel records or general budget execution.
