WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children in Arkansas

Arkansas x 10.557 is a WIC join, not a caseload census

This page pairs CFDA 10.557, WIC SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN, with Arkansas place of performance. WIC, in program language, is USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children — food benefits, nutrition education, and referrals for eligible participants. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $301,603,982.08 on eighteen awards. The extract does not list participants, food-package costs, or clinic counts. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that eighteen awards equal that many local offices.

Other USDA nutrition listings — SNAP, National School Lunch, or different WIC-related codes — sit outside $301,603,982.08 unless they also carry 10.557. Mixing WIC with SNAP or school-meal listings would invent a combined nutrition figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $301,603,982.08 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Arkansas after subawards.

18 awards behind $301,603,982.08

Questions

How much WIC funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $301,603,982.08 in obligations for CFDA 10.557 with Arkansas as place of performance, across eighteen awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.557.

Do 18 awards mean 18 Arkansas WIC clinics received grants?

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

Does this include SNAP in Arkansas?

No. The join is CFDA 10.557 crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $301,603,982.08 unless the award also carries 10.557. Mixing WIC with SNAP or school-meal listings would invent a combined nutrition figure the packet never computed.

Is the WIC total already spent on Arkansas food benefits?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $301,603,982.08 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
