Supplemental Disaster Relief Program — CFDA 10.988

Half a million awards at $6.58 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,577,793,404.64 in obligations under CFDA 10.988. Five hundred sixty thousand one hundred sixty-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $11,700 per award — far smaller than state block grants, which matches a disaster-relief file that posts many producer-level or payment-level actions rather than a handful of large grants.

The assistance-listing title is SUPPLEMENTAL DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAM. CFDA 10.988 is the identifier. Other disaster or farm-program listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $6.58 billion. Mixing those codes would invent a combined disaster total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records the $6,577,793,404.64 obligation stock for CFDA 10.988 together with 560,163 awards, 0 recipients in this extract, and 55 states. Keep supplemental disaster relief on 10.988 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

A zero on the recipient dimension

The extract lists 0 recipients against 560,163 awards. That zero is a stored field on this aggregate, not a finding that no organizations or producers received assistance. Benefit-style files sometimes omit a populated recipient rollup even while award rows are numerous. Do not cite 0 as “no one was paid.” Cite it as the recipient count on this extract.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Disaster-relief dollars still concentrate where declared losses and eligible producers cluster. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. A 55-jurisdiction code set includes states and other coded areas.

Award count is not a farm count

Among the packets in this batch, 10.988 is an outlier on award count: 560,163 rows. Payment actions, corrections, and related records can inflate award count relative to unique producers. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of farms helped.” With recipient count stored as 0, the organizational headcount is not available on this extract.

The packet does not report acreage, commodity mix, or declaration lists. Citing 560,163 as farms or counties would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, the stored recipient field, states.

Obligations versus disaster cash

The $6.58 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against supplemental disaster-relief awards — are not in the packet. A producer can show a recorded obligation while payment timing follows a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 10.988 to size the Supplemental Disaster Relief listing in the assistance file and to see how many awards it carries. Do not use it as a loss survey or a county disaster map. Loss estimates and declaration records live in other series. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.988.

What the 10.988 tables omit

The Supplemental Disaster Relief hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an acreage ledger, not a crop-insurance tape, and not a declaration archive. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,577,793,404.64. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 560,163 award rows.

The stored recipient count of 0 means this aggregate does not publish an organizational headcount. Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares.

Where the disaster-relief table lives

The Supplemental Disaster Relief Program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.988 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other farm listings. For 10.988 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.988’s 560,163 awards carry $6,577,793,404.64 across 55 states, with 0 recipients stored on this extract. Quote award count as a record count, the recipient field as stored, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Mixing those units produces false headlines about farms or counties. About $11,700 per award on a simple average is the density story on this listing. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Why does CFDA 10.988 have so many awards?

The listing shows 560,163 awards. Disaster-relief assistance often posts many payment-level actions, which inflates award count relative to unique producers. A simple average is about $11,700 per award. Award count is not a farm, acre, or county count. USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault are the source for this obligation stock.

Does a recipient count of 0 mean nobody received funds?

No. The extract stores 0 on the recipient dimension while still indexing 560,163 awards and $6.58 billion in obligations. That zero is a stored field on this aggregate, not a finding that no producers were paid. Geographic coding covers 55 states. Named-recipient dollars are not on this extract.

Is $6.58 billion already paid out for disaster relief?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 10.988’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash paid, remaining balances, or declared-loss totals. The $6.58 billion on 560,163 awards is the obligation figure.
