How much WIC funding is obligated in Alabama?

USAspending.gov shows $394,470,777 in obligations for CFDA 10.557 with Alabama as place of performance, across 14 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Alabama’s full nutrition budget. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.557.

Do 14 awards mean 14 Alabama WIC clinics?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a clinic or participant census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Alabama 10.557 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include SNAP in Alabama?

No. This page is CFDA 10.557, WIC. SNAP and school-meal programs use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $394,470,777 unless the award also carries 10.557. The extract has no participant count.

Is $394 million already spent on Alabama WIC food packages?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $394,470,777 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Benefit redemptions and remaining balances are not published in this packet.

Awards

The WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) shows $394,470,777 in USAspending.gov obligations with Alabama as place of performance. Fourteen awards carry that total — a short list of large assistance rows, not fourteen clinics. The join is a USDA nutrition listing crossed with a state location field, not Alabama’s entire food-assistance budget. Mississippi’s WIC overlay on this slice is a separate pair. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Alabama x 10.557 is a WIC join, not a participant census

This page pairs CFDA 10.557, WIC SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN, with Alabama place of performance. WIC, in program language, provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, and referrals for eligible women, infants, and children. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $394,470,777 on 14 awards. The extract does not list participants, food packages, or clinic sites. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more nutrition need, and not a claim that 14 awards equal 14 counties.

Other USDA listings — SNAP, National School Lunch, or different maternal-child codes — sit outside $394,470,777 unless they also carry 10.557. Alabama’s child-support and higher-education-aid joins on this slice are HHS and Education overlays, not WIC subsets. Mixing WIC with SNAP would invent a combined nutrition figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and infant-health indicators is not causation. Those indicators are not in the packet. Place of performance as Alabama locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $394,470,777 in the state treasury.

14 awards behind $394.5 million

Mean obligation is about $28,176,484.07 if $394,470,777 were divided evenly across 14 lines. That ratio is not a published food-package cost and not a benefit per participant. Formula-style WIC awards often post as a handful of rows to a state health agency. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a count of clinics, counties, or participants.

Fourteen lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent the lead agency name. Open Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children in Alabama for the stored table. Do not convert 14 into a map of Alabama WIC clinics. The $394,470,777 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not food instruments already redeemed. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a caseload.
