Children’s Health Insurance Program — CFDA 93.767 obligations

What $77.45 billion on 308 awards means

Assistance listing 93.767 is titled CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $77,447,693,487.52. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $77,447,693,487.52 as premiums already paid mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

308 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $77,447,693,487.52 by 308 produces a mean near $251 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical per-child cost and not a state matching rate. CHIP dollars often sit on state-agency assistance actions, which is why 308 records can carry $77,447,693,487.52.

The 112 recipients in the extract are organizational recipients stored on those award rows, not a count of children. 56 states appear in the place-of-performance coding. None of those volume stats converts the dollar total into enrollment.

112 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 93.767 lists 112 recipients and 56 states against 308 awards. Recipient count is not unique children. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state CHIP agency can appear on multiple awards; 112 is not a headcount of pediatric clinics. The 56-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a claim about every county.

Because 308 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large state actions can move $77,447,693,487.52 without a matching jump in the 112-recipient count. Extra modifications can lift award volume while dollars barely move. The CHIP hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus CHIP outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $77,447,693,487.52 figure for CFDA 93.767 can include commitments that will disburse later. CMS CHIP expenditure reports and a single fiscal year’s appropriation are different publications. 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 93.767 program page. Do not stretch 308 awards or 112 recipients to cover every child-health dollar that touches a state budget.

What the 93.767 tables omit

The Children’s Health Insurance Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an enrollment file, not a claims file, and not a waiting-period table. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $77,447,693,487.52. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 308 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while enrollees live in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 93.767

A complete citation is $77,447,693,487.52 in obligations for CFDA 93.767, covering 308 awards, 112 recipients, and 56 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is concentration rather than dollars, lead with 308 awards and 112 recipients, then the dollar total.

Start with the Children’s Health Insurance Program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is enrollment advice.

A worked reading of the 93.767 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $77,447,693,487.52, 308 awards, 112 recipients, and 56 states under CFDA 93.767. The mean near $251 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a per-child premium. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large state actions, dollars can jump while 112 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 308 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $77,447,693,487.52.

Nothing in the extract splits CHIP into Medicaid-expansion versus separate-child-health programs. Those cuts live in CMS publications. Treat CFDA 93.767 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the Children’s Health Insurance Program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 308 awards and 112 recipients next to the dollars so the low record count is visible.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Children’s Health Insurance Program?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $77,447,693,487.52 in obligations for CFDA 93.767. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of enrolled children. The same extract lists 308 awards, 112 recipients, and 56 states.

Why does CFDA 93.767 have only 308 awards?

The indexed award count is 308. CHIP dollars often sit on a relatively small number of large state-agency assistance actions, which is why $77,447,693,487.52 can coexist with a modest record count. The 308 figure is a file statistic, not a count of children. 112 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.

Does the CHIP total include premiums already paid?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $77,447,693,487.52 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 308-award count is a record tally, not a count of member-months. Cite CFDA 93.767 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 93.767?

The extract codes 56 states for CHIP. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every enrollee. Those rows still sit under the $77,447,693,487.52 obligation total and the 112-recipient count. Cite CFDA 93.767 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.
