Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States — CFDA 93.994

MCH block-grant obligations at $2.65 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,648,282,969.49 in obligations under CFDA 93.994. Three hundred nineteen awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $8.30 million per award — consistent with multi-year state Title V allocations rather than clinic-level grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local health-department budget or a per-birth cost.

The assistance-listing title is MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH SERVICES BLOCK GRANT TO THE STATES. CFDA 93.994 is the identifier. Other maternal-and-child-health listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.65 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined MCH total this packet does not contain.

61 recipients across 59 jurisdictions

Sixty-one recipients share 319 awards, or about 5.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.65 billion evenly would assign about $43.4 million per recipient. That density is a block-grant portfolio: several award years or amendments per state health agency, not a competitive file with hundreds of local applicants. The packet does not list the 61. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of mothers, children, or clinics.

Fifty-nine jurisdictions in the geographic count is among the widest maps in this batch — states, territories, and additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by statute the packet does not reprint. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a birth or clinic count

Among health-block listings, 93.994 is a moderate-row file: 319 awards against 61 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique allocations. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of maternal-and-child-health programs.” Recipients (61) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (319) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report live births, prenatal visits, or infant-mortality rates. Citing 319 as clinics or patients would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus Title V outlays

The $2.65 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against MCH block-grant awards — are not in the packet. A state health agency can show a large obligation stock while local drawdowns follow a slower calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 93.994 tables omit

The MCH block-grant hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a birth-certificate file, not a clinic directory, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,648,282,969.49. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 319 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 59 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on services.

Where the 93.994 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.994 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other health listings. For 93.994 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.994’s 319 awards spread $2,648,282,969.49 across 61 recipients and 59 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 5.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 93.994 as a Title V block-grant book: 61 agencies, 59 jurisdictions, and about 5.2 rows per recipient. The $2.65 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a birth or clinic census.
