Denotes whether an agency is authorized to redistribute government funds (statliga bidrag). Many agencies receive funds from their political principal under the obligation that those funds should then be redistributed to other individuals, groups, or organizations. A large part of the public universities' research projects, for example, are financed externally by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). Other prominent examples include the National Board of Student Aid (Centrala Studiestödsnämnden), the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket), and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan).
