How much SNAP is obligated in California?

USAspending.gov records $28,557,674,965.64 in CFDA 10.551 obligations across 3 awards coded to California. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not California’s full federal total.

Can 3 awards hold $28.6 billion?

Award count is a row count. $28,557,674,965.64 ÷ 3 is about $9.52 billion per record as a mean. Large federal-to-state SNAP vehicles can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients.

Is this California’s SNAP caseload?

No. The $28,557,674,965.64 and 3 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 10.551 with a California geography tag. Caseload lives in other FNS and CDSS publications.

CFDA 10.551 — federal program obligations to California

Total obligated

$30.53B

Awards

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.551) shows $28,557,674,965.64 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, on only 3 awards. Three rows can still carry a nine-figure-plus nutrition book when the award file stores large federal-to-state vehicles. This page is a catalog-program × state join, not a caseload census and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table. Later ingests can move both the dollars and the 3-award count; this prose is a snapshot of one packet.

Key figures

CFDA 10.551 × California records $28,557,674,965.64 in USAspending obligations.
Only 3 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $9.52 billion per record, not a typical household benefit.

Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Three SNAP awards tagged to California

CFDA 10.551 is Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. California (CA) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $28,557,674,965.64 and 3 records. A 10.551 award tagged to Nevada or Oregon is not here. A California school-lunch, SSDI, VA, or disaster-grant row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the SNAP total.

Three awards against $28,557,674,965.64 yields a mean of about $9,519,224,989 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical household’s monthly benefit. SNAP funding is often booked as a handful of large assistance actions to a state agency. This packet does not name the recipients of the 3 rows.

Sacramento did not “win” $28,557,674,965.64 by appearing as a geography code. USDA did not “choose California” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 10.551 with CA is not causation. The overlay Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in California is the live table.

What SNAP means on USAspending.gov

The official catalog title is SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade California’s SNAP error rate, its restaurant-meals option, or its caseload. $28,557,674,965.64 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 10.551 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national SNAP total, so none is quoted.

FNS caseload files and CDSS dashboards are other series. They are not the 3 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a household count from those files with this join would invent a per-household dollar figure the packet does not support.
