Key figures
- CFDA 93.566 shows $14,042,806,560.08 in USAspending obligations.
- 959 awards and 246 recipients sit under that total across 50 states.
- Mean dollars per award are high because award volume is modest relative to the sum.
- Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.
How $14.04 billion sits on 959 awards
Assistance listing 93.566 carries the USAspending.gov title REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE STATE/REPLACEMENT DESIGNEE ADMINISTERED PROGRAMS. The obligation book on that code is $14,042,806,560.08. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not cash already paid. Mixing $14,042,806,560.08 with an outlay series from another report will not reconcile.
959 awards hold that dollar total. Dividing $14,042,806,560.08 by 959 produces a mean near $14.6 million per award record. The quotient comes only from those two packet totals. It is not a per-person benefit and not a typical state grant size. Large state-administered actions can carry most of the $14,042,806,560.08 while the award count stays in the hundreds.
246 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 50 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into a caseload.
246 recipients across 50 states
CFDA 93.566 lists 246 recipients against 959 awards and 50 states. Recipient count is the number of organizational recipients stored on the assistance extract, not a headcount of refugees or entrants. One state or replacement designee can sit on several awards, so 246 is not unique grantee years and not unique households.
Fifty states is a coded-jurisdiction span, not a map of every local office. Because 959 awards are few relative to $14,042,806,560.08, a small set of large actions can move dollars without a matching jump in the 246-recipient count. Modifications can raise award volume while the dollar book barely changes.
Obligations, not assistance outlays
USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $14,042,806,560.08 total for CFDA 93.566 can include commitments that will disburse later. A single-year appropriation table or a separate refugee-arrivals report is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation sum 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 93.566 program page. Do not stretch 959 awards or 246 recipients to cover every dollar tagged to refugee assistance in another file.
What the 93.566 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an arrivals roster, not a benefits ledger, and not a county-by-county service map. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $14,042,806,560.08. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 959 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 50 states is a coding field. A statewide designee coded to one cell can dominate geography while services occur in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 93.566 extract
Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.566: $14,042,806,560.08 in obligations, 959 awards, 246 recipients, and 50 states. The mean near $14.64 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 246 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 959 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $14,042,806,560.08.
Nothing in the extract splits REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE STATE/REPLACEMENT DESIGNEE ADMINISTERED PROGRAMS into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals.
