Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico — CFDA 10.566

$18.2 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico (CFDA 10.566). The listing shows 20 awards, 1 recipient, and a 1-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a participant caseload. Among high-dollar CFDAs, 10.566 is the most concentrated: one named recipient, one geographic label, twenty award records carrying more than eighteen billion dollars.

Key figures

  • CFDA 10.566 shows $18.2 billion in USAspending obligations for Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico.
  • The listing covers 20 awards, 1 recipient, and 1 state.
  • Other nutrition listings are separate CFDAs and are not included in the $18.2 billion.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or caseload counts.

A single-jurisdiction listing at $18.2 billion

USAspending.gov records $18,233,290,027.82 in obligations under CFDA 10.566. Twenty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $912 million per award. Nutrition assistance structured as a block to one administering government will look like this in the assistance file: a short award roster, a very large dollars-per-award ratio.

The assistance-listing title is NUTRITION ASSISTANCE FOR PUERTO RICO. CFDA 10.566 is the identifier. Other nutrition listings in the CFDA file are separate rows and are not included in the $18.2 billion. Mixing them would invent a combined nutrition total this packet does not contain.

One recipient, one state, twenty awards

Recipient count is 1. State count is 1. Award count is 20. Those three facts together describe a listing that does not fan out across fifty-plus jurisdictions the way WIC or SNAP admin matching does in this extract. The $18.2 billion is associated with that single organizational recipient in the aggregate. The packet does not name the recipient beyond what the CFDA title already states about Puerto Rico.

Twenty award records against one recipient means the file stores multiple assistance actions — original awards and modifications as USAspending stored them — rather than twenty separate administering agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of programs.” Recipient count (1) is the organizational headcount.

What the twenty awards are not

Award count is not a household caseload, a retailer count, or a monthly issuance calendar. A block nutrition grant can cover many participants under a handful of federal award rows. Citing 20 as families served would be a unit error.

The packet does not report benefit levels, eligibility rules, or a comparison to SNAP in the states. Those policy details are outside the four facts. This page sizes CFDA 10.566 in the USAspending assistance file.

Obligations versus nutrition benefits issued

The $18.2 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash drawn by the single recipient and, downstream, issued as nutrition benefits — are not in the packet. A block grant can be obligated while monthly issuance continues on a local calendar. Deobligations and upward modifications both move the stock.

CFDA 10.566 is a one-recipient, one-state listing in this extract: $18,233,290,027.82 in obligations, 20 awards, from USAspending.gov. About $912 million per award is the arithmetic of a block to one administering government. Twenty rows are multiple assistance actions for that recipient, not twenty agencies. Other nutrition listings with dozens of recipients and 50-plus states are separate CFDA rows and are not added into the $18.2 billion.

Maximum concentration in the assistance file

Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico, CFDA 10.566, is the most concentrated listing in this set on recipient and state dimensions: $18,233,290,027.82 in obligations, 20 awards, 1 recipient, 1 state, per USAspending.gov. About $912 million per award on a simple average is the arithmetic of a block to one administering government.

The title already locates the listing. The geographic count of 1 matches that scope in this extract. Other nutrition listings in the CFDA file, including WIC and SNAP administrative matching, are separate rows with many recipients and many states. This page does not add those listings into the $18.2 billion. Keep 10.566 as its own stock.

Twenty awards is not a household caseload. Outlays as benefits issued are not in the packet. The program page overlays 10.566; the programs index ranks it among other assistance listings by obligation size; agency pages may include this CFDA among other nutrition listings.
