Key figures

  • West Virginia’s indexed obligations are $83.72B for FY2024–2026.

West Virginia’s $83.72B from award files

The $83.72B West Virginia total is built from obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. Obligation means a recorded federal commitment. Outlay means cash movement at Treasury. This page keeps West Virginia on the first series. The state’s own budget is not the source of $83.72B.

Reuse the two-decimal form. A rounded slogan would not match the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 86,083 awards for West Virginia. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on SpendingVault.

86,083 West Virginia award records

86,083 awards is a count of records, not unique West Virginia recipients. Modifications and assistance actions in the source add rows. This packet does not publish a recipient total. Dollar volume and row volume can move on different scales.

The West Virginia spending hub places $83.72B next to 86,083 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

FY2024–2026 on the West Virginia index

West Virginia’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $83.72B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Late actions and corrections in USAspending.gov can change $83.72B and 86,083 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

West Virginia’s $83.72B combines federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. It is not a calendar-year total and not a Charleston appropriation. A federal fiscal year begins on October 1. The 86,083-award count shares that window. File corrections can change both statistics without changing the obligation definition.

West Virginia’s 86,083 awards and $83.72B share the FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov window. Record count is not a recipient census. Dollar sum is not an outlay total. The West Virginia spending hub is the place to see both at once.

West Virginia’s $83.72B and 86,083 awards should travel together in any FY2024–2026 citation. The West Virginia spending hub lists the rows. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep the obligation definition and do not substitute the state budget.

What the West Virginia tables omit

The West Virginia hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $83.72B. Stretching 86,083 rows to cover every federal presence in West Virginia would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of West Virginia federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $83.72B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash at Treasury. West Virginia’s $83.72B is the commitment series from USAspending.gov award files. Mixing an outlay headline with 86,083 award rows produces a false story.

Charleston’s budget is a different book. Keep $83.72B labeled as obligations. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on that unit. This packet has no agency mix to quote.
