Discrimination Financial Assistance Program — CFDA 10.984

Discrimination-assistance obligations at $2.01 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,007,450,950 in obligations under CFDA 10.984. Forty-one thousand nine hundred thirty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $47,900 per award — far smaller than a typical state formula grant and consistent with claim-level or payment-level rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical settlement amount for any one person.

The assistance-listing title is DISCRIMINATION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. CFDA 10.984 is the identifier. Other USDA assistance listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.01 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined USDA-assistance total this packet does not contain.

41,935 awards, 0 recipients, 54 jurisdictions

The extract lists 41,935 awards and 0 recipients. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the USAspending assistance file; a zero here means that field is unpopulated on this extract, not that the $2.01 billion has no payees in the real world. Do not treat 0 as a finding that no one was paid. The packet does not name individuals or organizations.

Fifty-four jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. That wide map sits next to the empty recipient field: geography is coded; organizational recipients are not. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a claim or farm count

Among USDA listings, 10.984 is a high-volume file: 41,935 rows with a 0-recipient headcount. Payment-level rows can inflate award count relative to unique claims. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of discrimination cases.” Awards (41,935) tell you how many assistance rows were stored; recipients (0) tell you the organizational field is empty on this extract.

The packet does not report claims filed, farms involved, or case outcomes. Citing 41,935 as people or farms would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, a zero recipient count, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $2.01 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Discrimination Financial Assistance Program awards — are not in the packet. A payment file can show a large obligation stock while disbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 10.984 tables omit

The discrimination-assistance hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a claims docket, not a farm directory, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,007,450,950. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 41,935 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 54 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. The 0-recipient count is a field condition on this extract, not a census of payees.

Where the 10.984 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.984 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other USDA listings. For 10.984 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.984’s 41,935 awards sum to $2,007,450,950 with 0 organizational recipients and 54 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the (empty) organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 10.984 as a high-volume payment file with an empty organizational recipient field: 41,935 rows, 54 jurisdictions, and about $47,900 averages. The $2.01 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a claims docket.
