Interesting. I do not know how reliable this website is, but apparently, it incorporates Social security/Medicare spend also:

Interestingly, it does not rank them per capita. California receives the highest at $12/person. Florida receives the third highest at $2700/person. Something does not jive

The numbers are net federal dollars received per resident of the state, and they are ranked at the bottom.

California received the lowest compared to how much California paid the federal government. Florida is ranked in the middle.

Although, I clicked on the source and data is from 2013 so I wish I had found a more recent source.
