Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in Arizona

State and tribal TANF records in one Arizona cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.558 meets Arizona place of performance. The dollar book is $1,769,395,490.98. The award count is 37. TANF federal funds typically include the state family-assistance grant plus possible tribal TANF and related 93.558 actions. Thirty-seven records do not equal 37 county offices, and they do not isolate the state share from tribal awards—this packet has no recipient split.

The join does not prove that Arizona’s unemployment, child-poverty share, or time-limit policy caused $1,769,395,490.98. Those are other series. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Arizona’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Head Start is a different catalog number on the same statewide stack. The 37 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a caseload.

Thirty-seven awards and a blended mean

Thirty-seven awards under $1,769,395,490.98 imply a mean near $47,821,500 per award. A few large state-level actions can dominate that average while smaller tribal or supplemental awards sit below it. The packet has no median.

Cite both volume and dollars. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly cash benefit or as a Maricopa County office budget.

Questions

How much TANF spending is in Arizona?

USAspending.gov shows $1,769,395,490.98 in CFDA 93.558 obligations coded to Arizona across 37 awards. The join uses the program number and Arizona place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

What does 37 TANF awards include?

The extract counts 37 award records tagged to CFDA 93.558 and Arizona. State block-grant actions and other 93.558 assistance, including possible tribal TANF, can share the tape. The implied mean is about $47,821,500 per award.

Is $1.77 billion Arizona’s full federal spending?

No. $1,769,395,490.98 is only the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cell. Other CFDA programs with Arizona place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 93.558 is not limited to Arizona.

Do these obligations equal cash paid to families?

No. $1,769,395,490.98 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. TANF covers more than monthly cash, and issuances can lag the obligation.
