State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in California

Administration matching, not SNAP benefits, in California

CFDA 10.561 is titled STATE ADMINISTRATIVE MATCHING GRANTS FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. The catalog funds state administrative matching for SNAP operations. It is not CFDA 10.551, the SNAP benefits line. Filtered to California place of performance, 10.561 obligations sum to $8,283,972,954.26 on 35 awards. Mixing benefit issuances into that total would invent a figure this packet does not contain.

The national 10.561 hub includes every other state. California federal spending includes every other program. This tie is the intersection. $8,283,972,954.26 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of households, EBT cards, or county welfare offices in Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Diego.

Packet facts stop at California, CFDA 10.561, $8,283,972,954.26, and 35 awards. Recipient names and caseload counts are absent. Do not invent contractors, counties, or award recipients. No fiscal year appears in the packet. Correlation is not causation.

10.561 versus 10.551 in California

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (CFDA 10.551) and other USDA nutrition catalogs sit on different numbers. Mixing those dollars into $8,283,972,954.26 would invent a broader total than this 10.561 × CA cell contains. Facts available: California, CFDA 10.561, $8,283,972,954.26, 35 awards. The program name on the packet is State Administrative Matching Grants For The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Dividing $8,283,972,954.26 by 35 yields about $236.68 million per award. That average is typical of a modest number of large state-administration instruments, not a typical household allotment and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Thirty-five is not a count of California counties, households, or offices.
