Illinois federal award obligations and record volume

Illinois’s 1,858,266 award records

Illinois’s distinctive file statistic on this page is 1,858,266 awards for FY2024–2026. That is a count of USAspending.gov award records, including modifications and assistance actions in the source. It is not a count of unique Illinois recipients. This packet does not publish a recipient total.

A file with 1,858,266 rows can still sum to $431.05B in obligations. Record volume is not a substitute for dollars. The Illinois spending hub keeps both columns visible so readers do not treat a busy file as a larger obligation book than $431.05B.

The $431.05B obligation sum

The $431.05B Illinois total is a sum of obligation amounts on those awards. An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert Illinois’s $431.05B into outlays. Springfield’s state budget is a different series.

Keep the two-decimal form. Rounding Illinois would leave the indexed extract. Cite $431.05B as USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026, not as cash already paid and not as the Illinois state budget.

FY2024–2026 for Illinois

Illinois’s figures combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $431.05B is a window total. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only run-rate. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Because USAspending.gov is a living file, later corrections can move $431.05B and 1,858,266 awards. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include an ingest timestamp.

Illinois’s 1,858,266 awards are the volume marker on this extract; $431.05B is the obligation marker. A file that busy is still not a larger dollar book than $431.05B. The Illinois spending hub keeps both columns so record volume is not mistaken for cash or for a bigger commitment total. This packet does not publish a unique-recipient count.

Illinois’s 1,858,266 awards can dominate a conversation that should start with $431.05B in obligations. Volume is not dollars. The Illinois spending hub shows both columns for FY2024–2026 so a busy file is not mistaken for a trillion-scale book this packet does not contain.

Illinois’s $431.05B is the dollar answer; 1,858,266 awards is the volume answer. Keep them on separate lines in any note about FY2024–2026. The Illinois spending hub and related obligation tables are the structured next step when statewide figures are too coarse.

What the Illinois hub excludes

The Illinois hub lists award obligations. Federal flows that never become awards sit outside $431.05B. That boundary is definitional. Stretching 1,858,266 rows to cover every federal dollar in Illinois would invent coverage.

If a headline disagrees with $431.05B, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that headline onto this award-file roll-up. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

FY2024–2026 is a federal window. The $431.05B is their combined obligation sum from USAspending.gov, not Springfield’s budget and not a calendar-year stack. A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Late rows can move $431.05B and 1,858,266 awards after a reload.

Springfield’s budget is not the source of these 1,858,266 federal award records. Neither is an outlay series. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations. Related tables on this site keep that definition.
