4.	Fair Value Measurements

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and fair value methodology, see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s highly liquid money market funds included within cash equivalents and U.S. government agency securities are valued using Level 1 inputs. The Company classifies its federal agency securities as Level 2. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods presented. U.S. government agency securities are bonds issued by the U.S. government and are fully backed by the U.S. government. Given the frequency at which U.S. government agency securities trade and the accessibility of observable, quoted prices for such assets in active markets, they are recognized as Level 1 assets. Federal agency securities are bonds and notes issued by government-sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Since Federal agency securities typically do not trade as U.S. government agency securities and no exchange exists to price such investments, they are recognized as Level 2 assets.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):
