*

Amount dedicated to Lifeline 988 centers for 988 implementation is likely to be more than $0 because these states earmarked funds for crisis services explicitly in response to 988 implementation, but did not specify the amount dedicated to 988 Lifeline Centers (the focus of the current study).

**

State has passed 988 cell phone user fee legislation but had not allocated funds from the fee at the time of the study. Revenue generated from the fee not included in the amount earmarked for 988 Lifeline centers.
