Pandemic Relief for Aviation Workers — CFDA 21.018

A $13.12 billion book on 93 awards

Assistance listing 21.018 is titled CORONAVIRUS RELIEF - PANDEMIC RELIEF FOR AVIATION WORKERS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $13,123,888,204.22. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a wage already deposited.

93 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $13,123,888,204.22 by 93 produces a mean near $141 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical worker payment and not a per-airline fare subsidy. A listing with 93 records can still hold $13,123,888,204.22 when each action is large.

48 organizational recipients appear on those rows. Five states are coded for place of performance. Neither volume statistic converts the obligation total into jobs retained.

48 recipients coded to 5 states

CFDA 21.018 lists 48 recipients and 5 states against 93 awards. Recipient count is not unique aviation workers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. An airline or related entity can appear on more than one award; 48 is not a headcount of employees.

Five states is a narrow coded-jurisdiction span for a $13,123,888,204.22 book. Headquarters or place-of-performance coding can cluster national firms into a few cells. The hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so the 5-state field is not read as a limit on where workers lived.

Obligations versus relief outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $13,123,888,204.22 figure for CFDA 21.018 can include commitments that disbursed on a different calendar than the award date. A separate payroll-support report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 21.018 program page. Do not stretch 93 awards or 48 recipients to cover every pandemic aviation dollar in federal files.

What the 21.018 tables omit

The aviation-worker relief hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a worker roster, not a flight schedule, and not an airline financial statement. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $13,123,888,204.22.

Place-of-performance on 5 states is a coding field. A national recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography. Read the program page before treating those five cells as the only places dollars reached.

How to cite CFDA 21.018

A complete citation is $13,123,888,204.22 in obligations for CFDA 21.018, covering 93 awards, 48 recipients, and 5 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. Lead with 5 states if the question is geographic coding rather than dollars.

Start with the Pandemic Relief for Aviation Workers program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 21.018 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 21.018: $13,123,888,204.22 in obligations, 93 awards, 48 recipients, and 5 states. The mean near $141.12 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 48 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 93 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $13,123,888,204.22.

Nothing in the extract splits CORONAVIRUS RELIEF - PANDEMIC RELIEF FOR AVIATION WORKERS into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 21.018 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 93 awards and 48 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $13,123,888,204.22. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $13,123,888,204.22 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 21.018, covering 93 awards, 48 recipients, and 5 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 93 awards into jobs retained, or 5 states into a map of airports. The 5-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the CORONAVIRUS RELIEF - PANDEMIC RELIEF FOR AVIATION WORKERS hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $13,123,888,204.22, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 93 award rows.

Questions

How much is obligated under pandemic relief for aviation workers?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $13,123,888,204.22 in obligations for CFDA 21.018. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a payroll headcount. The same extract lists 93 awards, 48 recipients, and 5 states.

Why does CFDA 21.018 show only 5 states?

The extract codes 5 states for place of performance. That count is a geography field in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every airport or worker. Those rows still sit under the $13,123,888,204.22 obligation total, 93 awards, and 48 recipients.

Is the $13.12 billion already paid to workers?

Not as a cash-paid sum in this series. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $13,123,888,204.22 figure can include amounts that disbursed on another calendar. Cite CFDA 21.018 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many awards sit under listing 21.018?

The indexed award count is 93. Those records carry $13,123,888,204.22 in obligations. The 93 figure is a file statistic, not a count of employees. 48 organizational recipients are stored on those rows. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.
