SNAP State Administrative Matching Grants — CFDA 10.561

A $31.0 billion administrative-matching CFDA

USAspending.gov records $31,024,221,411.85 in obligations under CFDA 10.561. The assistance-listing title is explicit: these are state administrative matching grants for SNAP, not the benefit stream that appears on other listings. One thousand four hundred forty-four awards produce the $31.0 billion stock. A simple average is about $21.5 million per award, in the same ballpark as other state-administered nutrition CFDA rows with four-digit award counts.

CFDA 10.561 is the only number that qualifies an award for this total. Searchers who type “SNAP” will find multiple assistance listings; adding them together would mix administrative matching with other SNAP-related CFDA codes that are not in this packet. This write-up stays on 10.561.

Sixty-nine recipients and a 55-state count

Sixty-nine recipients appear in the aggregate. That is a tight organizational set for $31.0 billion: if split evenly, each recipient would be associated with about $449 million, and with about 21 award records (1,444 ÷ 69). Even splits are not how matching grants work; some administering agencies will show many modifications. The packet does not rank the 69 names.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count again exceeds a 50-state map. The USAspending state field on assistance awards can include the District of Columbia and territories. CFDA 10.561 is therefore coded as a nationwide administrative-grant listing in this extract, not as a pilot in a handful of states. Dollar-by-state amounts are on the program table, not in the packet headline.

Matching grants are not SNAP issuance

The title names matching grants for SNAP administration. USAspending still stores them as assistance awards with obligation amounts. Nothing in the four facts is a SNAP household count, an error-rate statistic, or an issuance-calendar total. Award count (1,444) is a count of assistance records, including modifications as the source stored them.

A state can appear as a recipient on 10.561 while benefit issuance is recorded under a different CFDA or a different financial system. Collapsing those files into one “SNAP spending” number is a modeling choice this page does not make.

Obligation stock versus cash drawn for administration

The $31.0 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — payments against those administrative grants — are not in the packet. A grant can be obligated for a fiscal period while invoices for eligibility systems, staffing, or EBT operations post later. Deobligations reduce the stock; upward modifications increase it.

When two publications disagree on SNAP administrative spending, check whether both used CFDA 10.561, both used obligations rather than outlays, and both used the same award extract. Those three filters remove most false conflicts before anyone debates policy.

Where the 10.561 table lives

The SNAP administrative matching program page overlays these aggregates. The all-programs index places 10.561 among other assistance listings by dollars. Agency pages roll up awarding-agency totals that may include this CFDA plus others. Use the program page when the question is specifically state administrative matching grants tagged 10.561.

Keeping administrative matching on its own row

State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is a long title with a precise scope: administrative matching, tagged CFDA 10.561. USAspending.gov records $31,024,221,411.85 in obligations across 1,444 awards, 69 recipients, and 55 states. Those four facts size the admin-matching listing. They do not size SNAP issuance, error rates, or retailer redemptions. Collapsing 10.561 into a single “SNAP spending” headline mixes files this packet does not mix.

Sixty-nine recipients is a tight set for $31.0 billion. On a simple split, each recipient would be associated with about $449 million and about 21 of the 1,444 award records. Matching-grant files often show that pattern: a small number of administering agencies, many modifications. The packet does not rank the 69. Fifty-five in the geographic count is a nationwide-plus-territories coding in the USAspending state field, not an even formula table.

If two reports disagree on SNAP administrative spending, ask whether both used CFDA 10.561, both used obligations, and both used the same award extract. Those three questions resolve most apparent conflicts before anyone debates policy. Outlays are still a different column and are not in this packet. Open the program page for the 10.561 overlay.

Questions

How much is obligated under SNAP administrative matching grants?

USAspending.gov records $31,024,221,411.85 in obligations for CFDA 10.561. SpendingVault indexes 1,444 awards, 69 recipients, and 55 states. The total is an obligation sum for administrative matching grants, not SNAP food-benefit issuance and not an outlay series. CFDA 10.561’s $31.0 billion on 1,444 awards and 69 recipients is administrative-matching obligations, not SNAP issuance.

Is CFDA 10.561 the same as SNAP benefits?

No. The assistance-listing title is State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The $31.0 billion is the obligation stock on that CFDA. Benefit issuance, if tracked under other listings or systems, is not merged into this page. Award count is 1,444; recipient count is 69.

How many agencies receive 10.561 awards?

The extract lists 69 recipients. That organizational count is small relative to the $31.0 billion, which is typical of state-administered matching grants rather than a vendor marketplace. Geographic coding covers 55 states in the USAspending count. Names and amounts are on the program page.

Are these SNAP admin figures already paid out?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments recorded on assistance awards. Outlays are payments. CFDA 10.561’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report how much of the $31.0 billion has been drawn as cash. CFDA 10.561’s $31.0 billion on 1,444 awards and 69 recipients is administrative-matching obligations, not SNAP issuance.
