Child Support Services — CFDA 93.563

Child-support services at $21.1 billion

USAspending.gov records $21,148,016,477.64 in obligations under CFDA 93.563. Six hundred sixty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $31.7 million per award. The assistance-listing title is CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES. CFDA 93.563 is the join key. Awards land in this total only if tagged 93.563.

The $21.1 billion sizes federal assistance obligations on this listing. It is not the amount of child support collected or distributed. Mixing collections statistics with 93.563 obligations would invent a combined “child support spending” number this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records $21,148,016,477.64 in obligations for CFDA 93.563 across 668 awards, 128 recipients, and 54 states. A collections dashboard that shows a larger or smaller dollar figure is measuring a different flow — support paid by parents — not this federal services-funding CFDA. Keep those ledgers apart. The $21.1 billion remains an obligation stock, not cash drawn on administrative grants.

One hundred twenty-eight recipients, 54 states

One hundred twenty-eight recipients share 668 awards, or about five award records per recipient on average. Splitting $21.1 billion evenly would assign about $165 million per recipient. State and local child-support agencies can both appear as organizational recipients; the packet does not list the 128 names.

Fifty-four states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field, typically including the District of Columbia and territories. It does not publish caseload or collections per state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Services funding versus collections

Award count (668) is a count of assistance records. It is not paternity establishments, orders entered, or dollars collected. A state can post multiple award actions for federal financial participation in the child-support program without that count tracking the collections dashboard.

Readers comparing 93.563 to a state’s collections report should keep the units separate: this CFDA is federal assistance obligations for child support services. Collections from parents are not a field in this extract.

Obligations versus administrative cash

The $21.1 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against child-support services awards — are not in the packet. Federal financial participation can be obligated while quarterly claims post later. Deobligations and upward modifications both move the stock.

Use CFDA 93.563 to size child support services in the assistance file. Do not use it as a performance score for collections. Performance metrics are outside the four facts.
